Whungee Wheengee Canyon, don't let the name fool you. it is a long and exhausting canyon to go by. Really fun, but a wetsuit is a must. Water is ice cold, mainly right after Australian Winter. The canyon has sights that are impossible to get too any other way but canyoning. It is wonderful. Unfortunately I could not take as many pictures as I wanted too. I even missed the "glow worm cave" pictures. You go into the canyon and reach this "cave" by passing through a small underwater tunnel. You look up in total darkness and seem to have green stars all around you. A sight to behold. Plus many others. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the TR from down under. I'm currently looking out my window at 12" of snow so the canyon fix is much appreciated.

Sure, don't mention it. 12" of snow... I'm looking at 40 degree (Celsius) weather. talk about extreme situations.

Awesome TR! Looks like a blast and nice deep water to float down is always the best. :2thumbs:

Water canyons are the best!!! very refreshing and fun. Too bad not in Oz anymore, but I'm in Honduras now, and will keep things posted for canyons here. It is more or less uncharted territory for canyoning. So we'll see.
