Joe's Canyon loop
Warning. Canyons can be a dangerous place to enter when heavy rains are predicted. "Recommended experienced bushwalkers only"
Joe's Canyon Loop is one of the Blue Mountains great adventures where you will hike, wade and swim through spectacular slot canyons and creeks.
Thankfully we did take a few lilo's and wetsuits as there were a couple of descent swim out areas and the water can be quite cold when exposed for longer periods.
Expect to climb over a few boulders in Bell creek and be prepared for the long steep climb back out to Mt Wilson.
Like most walks in the the mountains, you absolutely need to do your homework to navigate your way around and out.
I would personally rate this as med...

Long-finned Eel
Просмотров 163Месяц назад
I was pretty excited to get to swim with this Long-fin eel for some time giving me a great opportunity to get some cool footage. The Long-finned Eel is found in freshwater rivers, streams, dams, lagoons and lakes on the coastal side of the Great Dividing Range, from Cape York in northern Queensland southwards through NSW into Victoria and Tasmania.

      The blue marks are pretty innocuous compared to some of the rubbish I have seen on walks in the Blue Labyrinth.

    Unfortunately after becoming popular by social media. The tunnel became a magnet for photographers burning steel wool, flares and so on, to gain a like count on their social media page. After heavy rain, hoards of kayakers would descend into the tunnel. A lot of damage was caused. The tunnel had been fenced off for a period of time. The last time I visited with a mate. Plastic garbage bags filled the garbage bin at the start of the track. Plus garbage bags littered the entrance to the tunnel. I'm guessing unprepared people substituted the bags to keep their shoes dry. The tunnel is owned by Metro mine, the other end is plugged off, so as to form water storage for the mine. The railway track is not original. it was placed there by the mine. A great place to photograph after rain. The reflections of the vegetation, and the railway line, with the tunnel in the background can produce a stunning image.

      this day out will take you around say 8 hrs return. All depends on how long you take in the canyon. Do your research before going out and important not to miss the exit point. You will be in the water for a long time and will have to climb a number of large boulders at different points of this canyon/river. Wet suits a must and good quality lilos required because it will be a difficult trip if you puncture your lilo. Be Safe

I've never seen anything like it and I think they might be deadly predators but these guys are special, deadly and beautiful! So it was fantastic to come across you wonderfully shot footage of one, would love to see more and know more about them, do you come across Leafy Sea Dragons by any chance?

    Thank you for the beautiful drone pictures. When we look at this place we see many horizontal layers on top of each other but close-ups of these layers also show that they are completely separated from each other and the layers look rather homogeneous. How is this possible? Each layer is the effect of a recurring natural disaster, a huge tidal wave that is pulled over the planet, that is caused by a celestial body that circles our sun in an eccentric orbit. A thick layer of homogeneous mud remains on our planet. The many earth layers are solid proof for this recurring disaster. Those natural disasters occur in a cycle of seven and create a cycle of five civilizations. The longest living civilization lives no more than 10,800 years. Nonsense? No, ancient knowledge and that knowledge is supported by many depictions that we find in museums on statues, cylinder seals, coins etc. The last time that this celestial body, planet X or nine, was seen and depicted was just before our era. Abundant and convincing evidence about this cycle of natural disasters and its timeline and many images are available in the eBook: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". Search: invisible nibiru 9
