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. We had only been officially dating for a month at this stage, but an opportunity to bring together a group of all my favourite people made me very warm…

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…

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…
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!
