Know before you go

Flash flooding can occur with little warning, especially in the wet season. Check weather forecasts before entering gorges. Wear sturdy footwear with good grip on rock surfaces. This is a challenging experience requiring good fitness and preparation. Allow extra time and carry emergency supplies.
