It actually granite, the canyoning goes up stream from the Tuross water fall (~50m).
It fairly easy, no ropes required, but it can get very cold in those shady pools, so make
sure you wear a wet suit. There are sections where you need to swim 50m. Takes a 2-3
hours. Its great fun and there is plenty of bouldering and climbing in there as well

google is your friend
