The Dry Canyon - track notes

Entry

See Newnes Plateau & South Wolgan Fire Trails for information on how to get to the Bungleboori Picnic Area.

Drive along the Glowworm Tunnel Rd to AMG407164, about 22km from the Bungleboori Picnic Area. There is a small parking area with a barrier. Follow the track down to a camping area. Turn right and follow the track in to the top of the dry creek bed, and then follow the creek down to where the canyon starts.

Notes

There are two sections of canyon. The first is attractive, but short and not very deep. More walking brings you to the lower constriction. This is quite spectacular, as it is deep, dark and reasonably sustained.

Exit

Retrace your route back to the car

Comments

This is a VERY EASY canyon, and a good one to show people who are probably never going to make it to more difficult ones. It is also a nice bushwalk.

It is quite interesting to climb around above the south of the canyon and have a look down the slot from above. Also, it is worth scrambling around under the cliff to the right for a while until you run out of safe ledges, where there are excellent views of the Carne Creek and Wolgan Valleys.

Rating: 4/5

Time

About 1h from car to car. The entire walk is only around 2km. If it takes you more than about 15 mins to reach the first section of canyon then you are probably lost!
