2 DAY ABSEILING-Mt Buffalo 300 metre
Additional Information
Mt Buffalo, a huge granite plateau with almost endless views to the
Victorian and NSW alps, rises above the pretty and peaceful Ovens
Valley. It’s about 3.5 hours from Melbourne and 1.5 hours from Albury/
Wodonga, and the road from Bright (the nearest tourist village) is sealed.
En route are forests rich with wildlife, including wallabies and lyrebirds,
and beautiful views of countryside dotted with farms, vineyards
and orchards.
At 300 metres high, the North Wall of Mt Buffalo Gorge is a major granite
feature that’s internationally regarded as an abseiling challenge.
The usual descent is by first abseiling 160 metres on a single rope in an
area normally only accessible to skilled rock climbers down to a large
ledge. We then use double rope ‘pull down’ systems to descend a further
3 x 50 metre pitches to the gorge floor, stopping on small ledges. The
descent can take up to 3.5 hours dependent on group size, experience
and weather. From the bottom of the cliff, we walk to the crystal brook
for lunch.
The route back is via a creek crossing, then a climb directly up a steep
crevasse to the top of the gorge. Some areas need to be top roped as
there is rock climbing involved. In wet weather there is an alternative
route back.
