canyoning

To remind my boyfriend that he is still fun and energetic on his 27th birthday, I organised an adventurous day at Empress Falls for some abseiling and canyoning action. Neither of us had done a canyon before, so I thought it would be memorable for us to experience it together for the first time.

We treaded along the Valley of Waters Creek, leaped off rocky outcrops into remarkable jade pools, and floated freely down creeks. The canyoning trek took us through the open-air playground that is Empress Falls, and as we swam, climbed, and scampered, we admired the surrounding beauty. The final 30-metre abseil down a waterfall, landing in a refreshing green-water lagoon, was the perfect ending to our expedition.

It was a fun and exciting experience that left me with bruises and an appreciation of the stunning scenery of the Blue Mountains. Who knew that these geological treasures were secretly tucked away in the region of NSW?
