Twister feeds into Rocky Creek so they can be done in a single day trip. T wister is a great adventure canyon with several water jumps and Rocky Cree k is one of the most beautiful canyons in the mountains - it'll be a great day out and an awesome intro into Blue Mountains canyoning if you haven't been yet!\n\nThe canyons themselves are not technically difficult - no ab seiling or any other experience is required. However\, there are a few lon g swims in Rocky Creek\, so it is essential that you are a competent swimm er. There are also a number of water jumps - of around 2-4m in height - in to deep pools. Make sure you will be comfortable with this. The water is a lso extremely cold. Wet suits are required. It's a good idea that you wear thermals underneath your wetsuit\, and have warm woolen socks (not cotton ).\n\nREGISTRATION:\n\nYou can register yourself for the trip by using the booking button at the bottom of this page. Only registered and approved c lub members will be able to come on the day so make sure you register well ahead of time! We'll be closing registration on WEDNESDAY 19th MARCH so t hat we can get the group properly organised and make sure everyone has eve rything they need. Please read all the info below\, and feel free to cont act us (by posting a comment below) if you have any more questions. If you have trouble getting any of the required items we might be able recommend where you can go to get them.\n\nTRANSPORT:\n\nRocky Creek &\; Twister Canyon is over an hour's drive from the Mt Wilson campsite. We will have to organise carpooling from the campsite.  It will work out to be about $ 5/person for fuel. Let us know if you are willing to drive as we will need at least one more driver (Alex and I both have cars which will fit 5 peop le each).\n\nYOU WILL REQUIRE:\n\n1. A WETSUIT AND SWIMMERS – the water is too cold to swim without a wetsuit. You can buy cheap wetsuits second h and from Vinnies and other second hand stores.\n\n2.

BACKPACK and DRY BAG – that can fit a wetsuit\, lunch/snacks\, sunscreen\, and a warm jacket. This bag will get wet. This canyon requires several jumps and slides\, so it is NOT possible to carry items in your h ands. You will also need a dry bag inside your backpack to keep your lunch and other items dry. If you do not have a dry bag\, you can bring at leas t 4 heavy duty garbage bags (the thickest possible bags you can buy).\n\n4 .
