Introduction[edit]

Approach[edit]

From the car follow the old trail from the national park sign along the fence for approx 15-20min, once the fence turns left follow it down the hill for approx 200m until you meet the creek and where the first bits of the canyon start.

Descent[edit]

Watta Canyon.pdf


There is plaque on the boulder closest to the east Dtharowal Creek Falls – it is a memorial to the NSW SCAT ambulance office Mick Wilson who was killed in a rescue mishap lifting the injured canyoner Matthew Shewchuck who had a 10m fall onto the bottom of Pitch 3 injuring his back (L3 injury), 24 Dec 2011.

Exit[edit]

Once on the ground a walk/rock hop of approx 1hr upstream (right) will bring you to a small waterfall on the right. Just after the waterfall a small scramble up will bring you to the top of a small cliffline and short distance from the car. 15min of walking along the creek will bring you to the bridge and car.
