Continue reading →: Breakfast Creek CanyonOn a frosty winters day in June 2023, Ethan, Jess and I decided it was a perfect day for a canyon. Technically, the canyon ‘season’ typically runs from late spring – early autumn, usually not counting the colder months as ideal canyoning weather. For some reason, that ‘season’ has never…

Continue reading →: Grand CanyonFunnily enough… I had only completed Grand Canyon twice in the two years I had been canyoning, both which happened to be during the night-time to see the glow worms. My first trip through Grand Canyon at night was my second ever trip through a canyon back in March 2021.…

Continue reading →: Solo 2 Weeks in TassieStraight off the back of my 3 weeks in Victoria, I took the overnight ferry from Geelong straight to Launceston in Tasmania! It was a pretty cool and pretty new experience getting on a boat with my BT-50. After these two weeks I felt like I had done too many…

Continue reading →: 3 Weeks Exploring VictoriaAfter 7 years at my first professional job, I was ready for a big change. It was a scary step leaving a comfortable job which was the only one I had known in my career up to that point, but leaving felt so refreshing. I had a new job lined…

Continue reading →: Fortress CanyonI’ve always been curious about doing Fortress Canyon, I didn’t know much about it, but always heard about it through the canyon community. So one weekend Ethan and I thought heck, why not, let’s go check it out! It does after all, end at the huge Fortress Creek Falls that…

Continue reading →: Claustral CanyonClaustral Canyon is dubbed by many as the most beautiful of the Blue Mountains Canyons, and well so, even though some seem to view it as a little ‘overrated’. In my opinion, how can anything so naturally beautiful be overrated?? In saying that, I can somewhat understand both sides. One…

Continue reading →: Tigersnake CanyonA week or so after getting back home from our epic New Zealand mission, it wasn’t long before the adventure itch was itchin’. We had plans to meet friends on Sunday for a trip through Claustral Canyon, which, being my first time was very exciting! To sweeten the deal, we…

Continue reading →: 3 Week mission to New Zealand’s South IslandIf you are passionate about canyoning, then it is highly likely you either own or have come across Daniel Clearwater’s guidebook – Canyoning in New Zealand. As far as canyoning guide books go, this is the GOAT. Fully inspired by all the incredible canyons featured in this guidebook, and with…

Continue reading →: Kanangra Main CanyonFor a while, Kanangra Main was considered the epitome of New South Wales canyons, before NNSW Canyons were opened that is (I think Glennifer now takes that cake). In some regards, I think it still is. Kanangra Main is a huge undertaking, taking most groups between 9 – 12 hours…

Continue reading →: Dione Dell CanyonOnce you start canyoning in the Blue Mountains, Kanangra becomes the next biggest challenge. Canyoning in Kanangra National Park almost becomes a right of passage, once you have canyoned there, are you officially a canyoner?!

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!
