Burnett Creek Gorge Australia

[@TheYadoyo]

From: www.theverticaladventurer.com/single-post/The-ultimate-Brisbane-canyoning-guide Also known as Urbanville canyon, Burnett Creek is a nice canyon with plenty of action for its short length. The area features numerous fire trails and 4wd tracks that criss cross the area, but one sure way to get there is to start HERE heading north along the track, then make sure you go under the big power lines, cross the small creek, and head up Dead Horse mountain, eventually hitting the border fence. Use the canyon location found below to help navigate there. At the border fence where it forms a sharp right angle, jump over the two fences and head down the fire trail until another one comes in from the left. Take this track, then near the end there is tape on some trees and a rough track heading down. Follow this until you reach the creek, the canyon starts a short distance later. If you are walking this track, there is quite a bit of uphill. I recommend using, or finding someone, with a 4wd as this becomes a very easy trip with one. Usually a 30 minute drive with 4WD. Expect a walk in to take 3-4 hours if using this track. Mountain bikes can also be used, and are very handy, at least for the downhill part on the way back. The canyon itself is quite nice with 6-7 abseils, with one of them being an optional jump. And there are a few cool slides as well. All abseils are bolted, but still carry anchor building material just in case. If you would like a guided trip, see Green Frog Adventures. Length of rope required: 1x 60 meter Highest abseil: 23 meters Jumps: 1 (4 meter) which can be abseiled. Abseils: 6-7 Wetsuits: Yes Anchors: All bolted Trip length: Long day if walking in, short day if using a 4wd. Difficulty in normal water flow: Medium Commitment level: High Navigation: Medium Notable things to watch out for: Take a wetsuit, even in summer. Avoid taking large groups through as there are limited spots out of the water through the middle. Quality: 8/10 Canyon location: -28.312907, 152.556709

I've been searching for hours to try to find out how to get there. At first I thought this was a leg-pull - GPS and phone don't reach so take a waterproof survey map and compass, look for a road sign that probably isn't there, zig-zag up a hill to get to a canyon, bunny hop over a rabbit-proof fence, leave the gear you've lugged so far for the sole purpose of doing the canyon lying out in the bush unattended, to be picked up again (and lugged all the way back home) AFTER you've done the canyon without it, etc, etc. Maybe Michael doesn't really want us to go there and wrote all this to put us off? But anyway, thanks to both of you. From the trouble I had finding ANY directions, how difficult the directions seem now that I have found them, and the fact that no one else has commented in EIGHT MONTHS, it seems that Burnett Creek Gorge doesn't get many visitors! That alone makes it worth doing!
