Wollangambie river: Canyon lilo trip

One summer day I went on a lilo trip in the Blue Mountains in Wollangambie Canyon, starting at Mt Wilson.

If the water levels are right, and the day is warm, go lilo !! This place is great, walk down one side of the mountain armed with lilos, float in the mild rapids through the canyon and climb up the other side. Not to be done in flood, the fallen trees are easy enough to negotiate at low levels, but at flood they would be a drowning hazard.

Even though it was summer, I suggest wearing a light wetsuit to cut out the chill from the shade and cold water.

How enjoyable it was to float assisted by the gentle currents through the canyons. I cannot fully describe the beauty nor tranquility, hopefully the photos do it justice.
