Escape from Alcatraz

Go to Index

An intereresting abseiling adventure !!!

in Alcatraz Canyon, Newnes Plateau,
    NSW, Australia

2025 January 5



Background

Altracraz Prison

There is an Alcatraz Island
off the coast of San Francisco, California.

On this small island
was a maximum security prison.

It was closed in 1963.

Now, the prison is a major tourist attraction.

And nowadays, Alcatraz means the Alcatraz Prison.

A flim was made in 1979,
called "Escape from Alcatraz"
starring Clint Eastwood.

It was a story of 3 inmates
escaping from Alcatraz Prison.

The film was a success
and well-known to this day throughout the world.


Altracraz Canyon

Named by David Noble.

Devils Throat

Named by Michael Keats.

Reference:
https://www.bushexplorers.com.au/encyclopaedia/devils-throat

It refers to the waterfall in Alcatraz Canyon,
and the chamber where the water falls into.

At the bottom of the chamber is a letter box slot.
You crawl out of the slot
to get out of the chamber.

I called the chamber "Alcatraz Prison".
The letter box slot is where you escape from Alcatraz 😀
