Other Outdoor Activities

Abseiling
There's nothing quite like the thrill and beat of your heart as you step towards the edge of a cliff - even with the full knowledge of being safely attached and protected by gear - the heart still flutters.  Rather than just using abseiling for going down cliffs for the sake of it, it can be integrated into mountaineering, canyoning or to gain access to an extra special bit of wilderness for exploring.  It is a great activity, but it can be dangerous and you should be trained by an expert before you attempt it alone.  SBW are trying to include it more in our activities and you won't regret giving it a go.  Check out this article as a starting point  Abseiling for SBW

Birdwatching
As bushwalking is a social activity, we generally chatter as we go along.  We're not the only ones chattering amongst ourselves in the great outdoors though!  Keeping an ear out and eyes open whilst walking, you'll discover a whole other world... just don't forget to watch your feet as well.  birdwatching and bushwalking.

Canyoning
Did you know that Sydney is the Canyon Capital of the World?  Only problem is it can sure get cold in those canyons and usually a wet suit is required.  Check out Dave Noble's website which features amazing photographs and inspiring stories.  You'll find most canyons in the SBW program are over the Summer season.  You will need to know how to abseil as well, so check out the Abseiling article above for more info.

Car Camping
This is something we all do on the way to somewhere, or just when we want to take it easy for a few days.  Car Camping allows us to carry those extra treats, keep things colder and a stack of creature comforts!

Cycling
Many members enjoy this as it is easier on the knees and you can cover a lot of ground quickly.  Not only that, it helps the planet!  You'll find cycling trips on the SBW program in most seasons.  Cycling.

Kayaking
When you just want to sit back and let your arms do the work, kayaking is a good way to watch the world float by.  It's a great activity that you can do even if your knees are done for from bushwalking for too many years!  Kayaking in New South Wales You can find a whole new world down at water level.  These trips appear regularly on the SBW program and with our lovely river frontage property in the Southern Highlands, you can enjoy kayaking with your own private campground!
