I've done Bungonia Main I think it was. Liked it generally, but totally different to the Blueys experience. The dead fox lying in a shallow pool for 6 months before we got there changed my outlook also.

Sure you can come. Bring whiskey. I've been thinking about the logistics of onsight canyoning and would definitely prefer some experienced hands around. Reversing a waterfall could be interesting. I'm going to spend the day looking on Google Maps for some possibilities.
