Comments: Discovered loose legacy bolt on P4 has been replaced. Bolts now linked with chain - a good development as it moves the ware point off the bolts which are difficult to replace.
Used the new Option 3 short cut on the short cut exit route. It's great. Looks like lots of people are using it. I think this should become the main route. Let the other tracks grow over.

Comment: The new chainset bolts on P5 and P6 are positioned out of reach for canyoneers of average or below-average height. With the abseil slings around the keyhole now removed, the new access bolt on RR is easy to reach, but be aware it’s a single point of failure and not intended as an abseil point.

Comment: Low to normal water conditions. Water temp cold but not crazy.
P4 has a loose bolt. It’s one of the original ones. The one on right hand side (if looking at wall). Will arrange for it to be replaced as part of Canyoning Australia’s Canyon Fund.

Comment: Loose bolt - (P4?) - naked ?home made P bolt in failing glue, the other bolt at this station looks like a new-ish raumer in good health.
Dead ?wallaby/possum? easily avoided shortly after the hole sequence. Returned via "walk out 1(new)"
