Kelvinator canyon

A side canyon of the Wollangambe river, Kelvinator (or Water Dragon) canyon is deep, narrow... and cold. Two abseils, and dark final constriction sees you back at the relatively warm water of the 'gambie. On the walk out we were caught in a torrential thunderstorm which tragically resulted in a canyoner losing his life in a canyon to the south of us. Details of this can be read at http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2005/01/24/1106415505135.html and at http://www.accidentregister.org/canyon_accid00.htm
My condolences to his family and friends.
