Wollangambe

Trip reports for Canyons in the Wollangambe area. Most of the canyons are creeks which flow into the Wollangambe River which are generally accessed via Mt Wilson. There are also a number of canyons running off the North and South branches of Bowen’s Creek which are accessed either via the Bell’s Line of Road just before Mt Wilson or Mt Wilson itself.

Home to one of my favourite canyons which this website is named after - Whungee Wheengee Canyon.

Whungee Wheengee

Woo Hoo! It’s only taken four years on my fourth trip down Whungee Wheengee to finally write up a trip report of one of my favourite canyons and a great one to do in preparation for our forthcoming Mountaineering Trip.

The plan was to do a nice, easish, good quality and fun canyon. Tom Brennan had given it a 10/10 and Rick Jamieson’s guide suggested that with a grade 2 that it should be easy.

Yet another beginners trip down Serendipity. Aaron, Bright and Jason hadn’t done any canyoning with abseils before, so the Thursday beforehand we spent a couple of hours on some basic abseil instruction.

Originally Anton has a list of 4-5 friends who were interested, but most dropped out leaving Pat as the last boy standing.

What a great Day. This is my favourite section of the Wollangambe. Wollangambe 1 seems to be the more popular, but I just like this section better.

Awesome. This is now in my faves list. With a short walk in and out, and a great canyon section you couldn’t ask for more.

Joe's Canyon

4 Jan 2013

A nice easy relaxing canyon in the upper Wollangambe which is a perfect beginners canyon. The walk in and out is quite short - around 45mins, it has has a couple of good constricted canyon sections and a good amount of lazy liloing.

Serendipity Canyon

An OK beginner’s canyon. Serendipty itself is nothing special but it is a good introductory canyon. The beautiful and fun Wollangambe Two section of the canyon more than makes up for the average qualities of Serendipty.
