Yeah it has to be one of the best. Not sure I'd like to go with much more than we had, but would be amazing to see if full flood yeah. Cheers

It sure was, some nice views from the top too :)

Yeah sure is, made the hike out more fun :)

@ will have to go for a look one day👌

Its tha crack!

@ love a good crack!

Ha never claimed to be smart, but there is a very quick look back at the creek 10sec in, and we do mention its on Four mile creek at the end. Hope that clarifies.

It's pretty steep but not scrubby so not too bad. We've had worse coming out of rainforest canyons with walls of waitawhile haha

Ah good to hear the algorithm works sometimes. Oh awesome! Okay, yeah we thought someone might of descended before, its so tempting, was our first descent at least hopefully more to come. Ah yes heard of Elaine's crack, not been there yet its on the list with many others out that way. Thanks for the info, if you have more would be great. We have done Housewater creek a little north of Marengo years ago, that videos on here titled Guy Fawkes. Always up for such adventures, and info from those who've been before is invaluable. Thanks for getting in contact. You can get me on ardenseques@gmail.com if you like.

Nice. Elaines is def on the radar, as is Marengo. We did house water creek out that way about 5 years ago. This crack is a classic tho. very intimidating at the top! I would not be at all surprised if its been done before, its pretty close to the road and easy access and exit. The long point Hill grove area has a lot of low key but epic canyoning potential. We did the creek line thru the mine last year too. Looking forward to more exploring out that way. Thanks for your comment, its awesome to hear from the crew who pioneered alot of these canyons!

@@ardeneques Well, since you kindly asked, here's some more info from the vault... "Elaine's Gorge" - the original more appropriate name for the aforementioned canyon was named after Elaine Cantrill, who, along with R Jones, did the first climbing route at Four Mile Creek Falls "Skylite", (6), 126m, back in 1969. No doubt they abseiled down in order to climb back up! The chimney next to the falls is also a published climbing route (We are not amused, 14), first ascended in 1971 by J Street and Dick Gallimore. The crag next to the Chimney/slot also has a climb called Nuttagee (14) (by Gallimore and Jones, also 1971). Half a dozen other routes and pitches at the falls are described in old climbing notes from 1975.

No worries, pretty cool hey, even better with more water.

Hey, have not run it. Just said on the discussion for that page we've hiked in there and had a look around. Would be great to try, but not sure there is a way through. Its an amazing place!

@@ardeneques If I was still in the area I would have loved to tee up a visit there together. I eargerly await for footage from inside crack. I have been shown some drone footage before of the crack and it looks spectacular. Doubt i'll ever get the chance to visit it myself though :(

@@cravingkarst yeah that would be great if you ever are. It might be a while until I get the courage to do it, would love to hike around it again but its a wild one, would want a good team, plan and conditions to attempt. Oh have you moved away or something?

@@ardeneques Yeah, living in the ACT now.

Ha was more tryin to catch the big grin on his face, but yeah Artys pretty ripped and a great bloke too

Thanks. Yeah it moved a few years ago I think. It's such a great place!

@@ardeneques yeah it’s an awesome spot man👌

Thanks man, beautiful hey. Yep, we will be back too :)

Aren't they! Thanks for watching.

That's the idea happy you enjoyed it, thanks for coming along :)

The slides are awesome on a hot day. You'd find it pretty easy on creek right, nothing like your last one. Can walk out on the river and drive back up is nice too. Yeah that was a funny moment 😁

@@ardeneques yeah sweet man might give it a go and hopefully not as steep as the last one haha walk down river seems like the plan👌

It really is mate, we're very lucky!

We don't like naming them, but if you walk the trails from Never Never picnic area you will likely find it.

@@ardeneques I’m glad you do not disclose the whereabouts of these places other than regionally

Thanks. Glad you enjoy them :)

Me too!

We're very lucky :)

Drops about 500m over about 2km from the road down to the river. It's especially nice as we don't have to climb back up, can do it in a car.

Nice, yeah its a long way down this one

Thanks for watching!

@@ardeneques Thank you very mutch... have a nice day.... see you….

Good question. There didn't seem to be a slippery or spongey layer, and it didn't peel off so don't think its moss, but not sure. Maybe something in the water that reacts with the rock? Would love to know, it's very pretty.

Thanks, glad you like them. More to come :)

Nice work!

Thanks. Oh you hiked it wow, that's hardcore. Just checked out your channel, great stuff but you are doing the hard way with no ropes. Have you tried canyoning?

@@ardeneques cheers man appreciate it! I know, wouldn’t mind being handy with the ropes but never tried. Would love to get into it!

​@@harbour_explore Okay cool. The best option is to do a course or something, but I took the cheaper option, went with friends and liked it, so taught myself and learnt from them. There is an awful lot to learn though, especially for anything other than really simple stuff on low water. I been doing it a while now but always still learning. There's a load of great resources online, especially here on YT, Hownot2 is one good channel. What's a good way to contact you?

Oh nice to hear thanks. Hopefully wont be too long, not as long as this one took anyhow.

Thankyou. Hope to go back soon, and more to come.

Hi, thanks glad you liked it. This inflatable is built for exactly these conditions. It's a XK1 Sevylor in this video, they are an older model not sure if you can sill get them new. Other videos we have an NRS Aire Force, that is only a few years old. You will find them online from whitewater retailers. Yes I was bought up on Tull, great music!

Thanks mate for details on your Yaks. I presume it's Eric rather than Elizabeth. My major problem is how to get back to my vehicle, all the portaging, and even the lower sections of the Clarence have fatal features. It is obvious that doing it at my age and solo is insane. The footage of the NZ Clarence is really impressive, that's what I call a river, oh to have the money to get there.@@ardeneques
