Who went: Brendan Heywood, Iain Mackay and Iain's freinds Leesa Moore and Justin Damic
Check out the photos. Also check out the photos of the last chandler trip.
Decided that the photos from the last Chandler trip didn't turn out so I just had to do it again! Oh well.
Left at 6:30am and got back at 8pm. Drive to Wollomombi then walk along the track over Wollomombi river to the lookout over Chandler falls. Walk of to the left for a couple hundred meters then down the valley then follow the river down to the falls edge.
When we were half way there I realised we were one belay device short so I ended up doing the whole trip on Munter hitches (or Italian hitches). It wasn't actually that bad and although it is easier to abseil on a Sticht plate it is heaps easier to unclip when you are in water using the hitch. Of course a rap rack is even better.
The water was a bit lower that the first trip and we saw (and smelt) two dead turtles washed over waterfalls.
On the walk out I saw another green tree snake sunning itself on the path but again it evaded me before I could whip out my camera. Iain also saw another snake which was a greeny grey brown colour of the same size and shape.
