OT: Canyons around Canberra 2-Apr-2012 At 2:06:45 PM Wollemi

From OzCanyons;

Hello fellow canyoners

I sit on B.R.A.G which is an advisory committee to Bungonia National Park/NPWS. The issue of Spring Creek canyon closure pops up every now and then and it was discussed again at the Friday March 30 meeting.

Background of closure
Spring Creek canyon was closed many years ago owing to a landslip at the same time NSW Police were using the canyon. NPWS closed the canyon due to safety issues and remains closed.

New development
As it's been some years since the landslide, Spring Creek canyon will be visited soon with view to assess the canyon in particular the landslip area. Let's hope that the outcome of this trip will be positive.

Canyoner representation on BRAG
The BRAG committee consists of Park users who have input into the Park. There is good representation from caving, outdoor industry, Scouting, military, education, but not canyoning. As I attend BRAG regularly representing caving, I'd be pleased to pass to BRAG/NPWS any issues from Ozcanyons and report back to canyoners. I seek Ozcanyons members opinion on this.

Help needed... before & after pics of Spring Creek canyon.
It would be helpful to have before and after photos of the major pitches with canyon walls, do you have photos showing pitches with walls? If you do, these photos may assist with the opening of the canyon.

If you can help, please contact me offline.

Joe also tells me BRAG (Bungonia Recreation Advisory Group) is desperately in need of a rock climbing rep. Would you know of anyone who could spare 3-4 Fridays a year to attend and voice rock climber concerns?
