STARLIGHT CANYON (Intermediate trip)

Wanna come on one of the one of the five 10/10 rated™ Canyons in the Blueys? Come on down through the beautiful Starlight Canyon – so named for its cave lit by star-like glowworms. It’s got rocks, sick ferns, ankle-deep water, two abseils, a tunnel, and a big walk in (but chill walk out).

We’re planning on driving up to Newnes Campground Saturday night (13th) and camping with a bonfire etc. then starting the canyon early the next morning (Sunday 14th) then driving back to Sydney Sunday night.

This is a pretty long day, so we gotta be moving efficiently which means that having previous canyon/rock scrambling/rope skills/general fitness is advised. So if you’re keen, please MESSAGE ME (Facebook preferred) with your relevant outdoors experience and potential car details!

Packing list:

Harness**
Helmet**
Head torch (must have)
Descender (ATC, figure 8, etc.) + biner**
Safety sling + biner**
Shoes to get wet (I’d advise volleys, old runners, or like $10 sneakers from Kmart)

A warm sweater or something to wear in case you get cold
Wool socks
Day pack
Lunch
Snacks
Sunscreen
2L Water bottle/s

+ Camping gear for Saturday night (tent/sleeping bag/sleeping mat/dinner/warm clothing etc.)

You can borrow items with a ** from the club

See you there!
