Du Faur Canyon • Lilo trip
Grade: Medium, Distance: 8 km, Time: 8 hrs, Max group size: 8, Meet: Mt Wilson, 8.00 am Note: Available November-April.
Du Faur Creek is a beautiful canyon which sees less tourist traffic than Wollangambe 1. It is upstream of Wollangambe 1 and leads into it. Du Faur Creek is narrower and more intimate than the Wollangambe. There are a number of different options for start and finish points, so this trip can be customised to spend from 2 to 5 hours on the water in addition to the 3 hours spent walking to and from the canyon entry and exit points.
Canyons (with abseiling/rappelling)
Tiger Snake Canyon

A stunning all-season dry canyon, Tiger Snake has it all. It is deep in rock pagoda country so it’s a decent bushwalk to get to the start. The upper canyon section has 4 abseils in a tight constrictions (left photo) and ends with a big overhanging abseil into an open valley (middle photo). From there it’s a short walk to the spectacular final abseil into a dark slot (right photo). The exit track is a very steep scramble initially, then becomes a good trail walk before going up and over a tall rock pagoda where you get magnificent views of the rugged landscape.
