Last weekend nine brave adventurers went along the Last weekend nine brave adventurers went along the Tahmoor Gorge track. 

Part 3 of our rain saga ⛈️ was thwarted, as despite a BOM forecast for 20mm of rain, it appeared to have avoided us perfectly 🥳

There was plenty of clambering over rocks, lots of cool fungi enjoyed (from afar of course), and even a small navigational mishap that took us down to the gorge-ous Nepean River.

Thanks to our trip leaders, and everyone who came along and pushed outside their comfort zone 💞

See you in the next one!
A very wet run through Arethusa Canyon! 🌧️☂️ Cont A very wet run through Arethusa Canyon! 🌧️☂️

Continuing with the rainy theme, a group of keen beans tackled Arethusa Canyon and (avoided) some of the spicy sections last week 💦

Thanks to our trip leaders for taking us on a very fun adventure 🥳🥳

Rain rain go away? No, why ever would you say that Rain rain go away? No, why ever would you say that! 🌧️🌿

What started as a "maybe a few waterfalls" kind of day turned into an absolute waterfall goldmine. In just a few hours walk between Hazelbrook and Lawson we counted nine waterfalls, all absolutely pumping thanks to the rain. The rainforest was ridiculously lush, the trails were quiet, and everything (including us) ended up a little wet. Totally worth it.

We even spotted some cool crayfish hiding in the streams along the way 🦞

Huge thanks to everyone who came along, and a bigger thanks to our amazing trip leaders for organising this!
