Located near Wentworth falls in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, you can easily find parking at the top near the Conservation Hut just off Valley road.
Best to check a couple of Canyon guides for the exact details, as there are a few different ways in.
The canyon itself has an upper and lower section, with the upper section well worth doing as you get a nice drop into the water just before you start the lower section. It also has a couple of nice slippery dip time rapids, just some fun for those that still have the little kid in them.
The lower section starts where the track crosses the creek and continues over several drop ins and a few technical sections where you have to climb down into the water. The climb down has a tape and rope alredy in place, but it did look a little worn.
Towards the end of the canyon there is a final drop in before the main abseil, which is the only real abseil on the whole canyon, but well worth it. There are bolts and chains already seyup, so you just need to feed you rope through. It about a 30 metre drop down to the bottom, and you can decide to go in the waterfall or down the side.
Overall I really enjoyed the canyon and the short swims and drop ins.
The walk out follows the track back up to the Conservation Hut. Its very steep with many stairs but well worth the effort.
