Abseiling

Head off into the mountains of New South Wales, strap on a harness and abseil down the cliff faces of the state’s protected wilderness areas. Let the rope out on the sandstone cliffs of the Blue Mountains, or take your chances on a slippery waterfall drop. For something really different, do a forwards rappel down a city skyscraper!

No matter what level of experience you’re at, there is an abseiling adventure with your name on it. Take a beginners course on a ‘nursery boulder’, or if you’re more experienced you can give caving a go. There are a plethora of sites around the state for all levels of abseiling, so you’ll never get bored around here!

Prepare to get wet on a canyoning adventure in the Blue Mountains. Empress Falls is a thirty metre drop through beautiful hanging swamps that teem with birdlife. You’ll be fitted out in a wetsuit and harness, after an introductory or refresher abseiling course in the morning. Feel the adrenaline rush as you rappel through narrow slots and sandstone ramparts in this world heritage listed wilderness.

The Urban Rap Jump is the newest thing for those that find normal abseiling a bit on the tame side. Step off a multi-story building in Parramatta and face the ground as you rappel down towards the astonished people below. Even though this jump has full safety precautions, this is definitely not for the gutless.
