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 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 😀
