Abseiling

In the early days of mountaineering, abseiling was just a way to safely get back down the cliff you'd just climbed up. Now it’s developed into a sport in its own right, and you’ll find many enthusiasts climbing a steep upwards path for the sole purpose of rappelling back down!

Experience the thrill of sliding down a rope while you dangle over the side of a rock wall or sandstone cliff. Abseiling is one of the most popular adventure activities in Australia, and there are heaps of commercial and natural drops all over the country just waiting to be descended. Whether you’ve been doing the downwards rock climb for years or you’re a complete beginner, there’s no limit on the enjoyment you can have when abseiling in Australia.

One of the great things about abseiling is the fantastic views that pass you by while you’re having the adrenaline rush of your life. Some of the best drops in the country are located in national parks and protected areas, and some even in Aboriginal land. While most will opt to scale down a cliff face or rock wall, the more adventurous can combine abseiling with caving, test their skills on a slippery waterfall, or perhaps even run down the side of an inner city skyscraper!

Abseiling will really test your mettle as well as making for a fun adventure you’ll remember for years to come. Put this one at the top of the ‘to do’ list.
