Continue reading →: Hat Hill CanyonIt was Slaydies weekend!

Continue reading →: Water Dragon CanyonThis time it was just me, Haydo and Ethan, out for a little canyon frolick in nature. It had been a while since we had visited the Gambe, and we hadn’t yet been through Water Dragon Canyon. I have awesome friends. At one point Ethan found his own way back…

Continue reading →: Watta CanyonLuke and I were down in the Southern Highlands for the weekend for a Wedding, so thought it was a great idea for a trip down Watta Canyon on the Sunday. We met up with Haydo on a VERY sunny October day. There was this cute little rock archway, which…

Continue reading →: Deep Pass CanyonThis time it was just Luke and myself, exploring Deep Pass Canyon. What a treat. I had heard a lot about Deep Pass, but seeing the photos of all the ropes and wooden planks to help tourists through the canyon has always turned me off. I love exploring wild canyons…

Continue reading →: Dargans Creek CanyonIt was an exciting weekend! I was bringing Luke to the Blue Mountains to meet my group of wild adventurous friends.

Continue reading →: Great Uncle George CanyonI heard about this canyon from the Upper Blue Mountains Bushwalking Club, and was interested in checking it out. Typically, access to and from the canyon involved crossing over private property, but after some research and maps plotting, we found a way in and out of the canyon without crossing…

Continue reading →: Sleeper CanyonThe Sunday after we completed our 3 Canyons in a day, we decided why not add a 4th canyon into the weekends adventures! We had seen a bit of an online discussion about a recently re-discovered canyon near Bells Line of Road, so decided we wanted to check it out…

Continue reading →: Sunnyside, Zorro and Alcatraz CanyonsSunnyside, Zorro and Alcatraz Canyons are all relatively short canyons in close proximity to each other in the Newnes Plateau, which means… 3 canyons in one day?! Heck yes. Sunnyside Canyon (Also known as Acoustic Canyon). Jess gets very excited when she sees moss covered rocks, understandably. There were some…

Continue reading →: Multi-pitch Abseils in the Blue MountainsWhen the weather feels a little too cold for a winter Canyon adventure, there are plenty of epically enjoyable abseiling adventures that make a sweet alternative! There are a few bolted dry abseil trips already set up in the Blue Mountains, such as Malatia Point, Malatia Wall, Boars Head, Devil’s…

Continue reading →: Coinslot CanyonThere are not many canyons in NSW where you hike up the mountain and finish hiking downhill back to the cars, but Coinslot Canyon is one of the very few! Ethan, David, Laura and I all camped at Coorongooba Campground the night before, and met Jess in the morning. Coorongooba…
Hello,
I’m Rach!
Welcome to Rachmartee, my personal collection of adventures through-out Australia over the years. Here, I invite you to join me, my friends or my pups on a journey of mishaps, bush bashes, lesser known trails, heartfelt stories and epic scenery!
I have lived and grown up within the ACT and rural NSW my whole life. Getting outside fills my heart with joy and wonder, it calms my nerves, helps me feel grounded and helps me feel connected to this world. I hope these stories and adventures will be an archive collection I can reflect back on for many years, for my family to see what I am getting up to on all these crazy trips and for my children to one day see the crazy and wild things that shaped who their mother is.
Let’s connect
Join the fun!
