[FULL] Beginner Canyon – Water Dragon

Hey everyone, welcome to the start of term! Instead of thinking about classes, why don’t you come do one of the coolest trips the club runs (quite literally)!! Milly and I (Daniel) are leading a beginner canyoning trip through Water Dragon canyon on Sunday the 19th. No experience is required, but there will be a long swim down the Wollongambe river so you must be a competent swimmer.
