Canyon Experience :

Descended on 19/09 solo, walk in is short, ghosted into main falls using a tree true left, this added another 2 or 3 meters to the abseil, but was still no where near 65m, I would guess more around 40m
These pitches could be down climbed.
After the abseil a gorge scrambling back to car park, all pools are shallow.
