Morong Deep had been on the BWOC calendar a couple of times, mainly with Geoff S leading the trip.  I’d always missed out and I decided that it was time to do it, I talked Steve C into leading the trip for me as I had no idea even where it was (could have looked on a map but too lazy), plus I suspected there might be some climbing involved and as Steve had done it before, he’d know all the pitfalls that might befall the unwary.

(AKA Waterfall Creek).  This was a Lindsay B idea and Peter T and I thought it was worth a shot, it was on the Kings Tableland so we could go up there for just the day.  There were a scant two lines of information on this canyon in the guide book, so it was well and truly exploratory.  We took 2 vehicles and did a long car shuffle, but we’d appreciate it at the end of the day. And yes, if you need to, I reckon a person could chew their way through it, wouldn’t be tasty though. Continue reading →
