 Blue Mountains Canyoning Guide - OzCanyons   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Canyoning requires experience and training in bush walking, navigation, route finding, abseiling, rope skills, self rescue, scrambling, rock climbing, water skills and many other aspects, it is not something that should be attempted alone by the inexperienced.
If you are out canyoning in your own group then it is not uncommon to get "stuck" behind a commercial group (or even more often, large private groups) at abseils and other bottlenecks in a canyon, as having so many beginners on a trip often leads to lengthy delays.
Many canyoners make it a rule to carry a complete set of extra ropes, and this is highly recommended, especially if the canyon has many drops where you might have to abandon a rope in an emergency.

The name ´noble gases´ is an allusion to the similarly unreactive Noble metals, so called due to their preciousness, resistance to corrosion and long association with the aristocracy.
Because of their unreactivity, the noble gases were not discovered until 1868, when helium was detected spectrographically in the Sun.

Canyoning usually involves finding a creek and following it as far as you like, so as long as you are able to find the right creek it often doesn't matter at which point you hit the creek.
