Smiffy's Pics : Four Dope Canyon
Background[edit]
David Noble says: First descent by SUBW in October 1982, party consisted of Bob Sault, Ian Wilson, Tony Norman and Doug Wheen (SUBW).(VS&M; No 2 - 1983). Named after a plantation discovered by the party at "Pot Hill" - the terminus of the Waratah Ridge road. Bob sault writes "The "Dope" in Four Dope Creek was as much to do with people being silly enough to go canyoning on a cold, rainy, unpleasant day. Doug drove that day, and was in the usual hurry to get back to Sydney for church."
Also known as "Birthday Suit Bertie Canyon" after Bob Sault's attire (or lack of) during part of the canyon. Doug Wheen said that "Birthday Suit Bertie canyon has a certain ring to it".
