Bushwalking
   

Recent walking/canyoning trips include visits to Claustral Canyon, Yilleen Canyon, Tiger Snake Canyon and Serendipity Canyon. These canyons are narrow slots cut through the sandstone which constitutes the Blue Mountains near Sydney, NSW. Walking through a canyon typically involves several abseils, a little swimming and wonderful scenery. Photo shows our group setting out for the first time.

 
Some participants in Graham's canyoning trips are even given a certificate to prove that they did it. Photo shows the certificate awarded to Arthur Jutan from The University of Western Ontario, Canada.
