We will operate in the snow or rain, so bring wet weather gear! In hot weather bring sunscreen, caps and cool clothing.

MEET

We meet at the Mt Buffalo Gorge Car-park Near the stone hut at the lower end of the car-park at the time arranged:
 At advertised time for Weekend and Holiday Adventures
 As per arrangements for private groups

THE ADVENTURE
We first have a practice abseil or two from the 25 Metre beginners abseil site near the stone hut in the visitors car park. This abseil has some interesting challenges but is very achievable. We then move on to our 35 Metre  Beginners Abseil site (Echo Point). This site has a great view of the gorge and is one of the better small abseils on Mt Buffalo.

Both abseil sites are close to the Mt Buffalo Gorge Visitors car park and also the toilets and other facilities (The Visitors Car park is just opposite the Mt Buffalo Chalet). 

After lunch we rig the first pitch of the South Wall Abseil and abseil down into the gorge - there are three pitches involved - then a hike back up to the top of the gorge (about 40 minutes)
