Davies Canyon is one of the most spectacular gorges in the Blue Mountains. More of a gorge than a canyon, a descent of Davies Canyon involves 3-4 abseils of around 60m plus a few lesser abseils. It takes a full day to complete the canyon and, after a night camped in Whalania Creek, the best part of a second day to complete the climb out to conclude the trip. The major abseils, particularly the first one, are spectacular, as the gorge plummets a sheer 60m into a tremendous deep trench.
We did this canyon on the weekend of 23-24 Jan 2010.
Party: Ashley Burke, Rachel Melrose, Glen Charlier, David Kyle, Douglas Bock, Tony Ruzek
