Waggon Creek

Taken in one of the the lower sections of Waggon Creek, a cut that runs for about 3.5km between steep limestone walls covered in moss and ferns. I had to swim the deeper sections using my pack for flotation, quite unnerving as the water was black with tanin and I had thoughts of massive eels biting my fingers off playing through my mind! A stunning place though, and one I would love to get back to again.

 

Take a look at my Waggon Creek album which contains this plus many more images taken along the length of the cut that I was able to explore. Unfortunately the water was very cold and the cut acted as a wind tunnel once the morning breeze came up, it wasn't too long before I was chilled to the bone and I had to turn back.
