Serendipity Canyon

Visitors here for Easter and a beautiful day (the best weather is always after the public holidays) so a chance for a detour to do a short canyon while on the way over the Blue Mountains.  The choice was Serendipity which I had last done over four years ago.  After getting past all the NPWS warning signs, the walk-in was quite short and we abseiled down into the stream which we splashed down for 20 minutes to reach the slot. 

The swims after each of the three abseils in the slot were not too chilly and we fairly quickly reached the Wollangambe where I took the usual classic shot framed by the exit keyhole.  A 100m walk up the Wollangambe and we picked up the steep exit gully – passing a large group which thankfully we had not caught up with while in the canyon.  The walk-out was fairly painless - maybe I am less unfit than I think - and we were back at the car exactly three hours after setting out. Then it was straight off to the usual restaurant for lunch.
