SPILLWAY

 

Across the river opposite Sanctuary, the Spillway is accessible only in the dry season from November to late May when temporary walkways bridge the river. Excellent rock. Cool in the afternoon.

After crossing the river from the Sanctuary site, do not go up to Spillway area. Instead, follow the river bank downstream until you get below the huge overhangs. Accessible only during the dry season (January to May) unless you swim to the start or rig a Tyrolean.
