Abseiling
Abseiling, or Rappelling as it is often called, is one of the most
popular adventure sports in Australia. It is simply a method of
descending a rope in a controlled and safe manner.
Canyoning
Canyoning is a popular and recognised
sport in Australia, particularly in the soft sandstone canyons of
the Blue Mountains and Wollemi regions. Narrow grooves and slots
which have been formed in the sandstones are eroded due to rapid
water movement over millions of years. While some canyons in the
Blue Mountains and Wollemi National Parks are up to 20 mt wide,
others are very narrow and may be less than 2 mt wide in places.
Some canyons are well over 100 mt deep, receiving sunlight on the
canyon floor for just a few minutes each day.
Canyoning usually involves jumping into pools, wading and swimming,
climbing and scrambling over log jams and abseiling through waterfalls.
Rock
Climbing
Growing rapidly as a adventure sport, rock climbing has become quite

the climber is protected by a safety rope from above, held securely
by your instructor.
