Ow. That last jump hurt. I bet his arms were stinging for hours - you could hear the double crack of feet then arms slapping the water.

Nice collection though. I have done a few of them myself. For instance the Wollangambe jump at 40 seconds, but never from the heigher point at 44 seconds. I always felt dodgy about the depth from the lower point. I'm not surprised the guy jumping hit his arse on the sand...

The big one certainly feels like playing a full half of rugby. I find landing with elbows bent so that you hands break up the water in front of your nose is good. Only ever convinced one other person to do the last jump. I got a mate to run my camera when I jumped.

Is it in Wollangambe also?

My best friend did a jump in Wollangambe which would have been 20m - from the top of the cliff. But I haven't seen anyone else do it. It was in a section where the river turns to the right, and then it narrows. In the narrow bit you can climb up the right hand wall to just about any height you want (nicely sloped with regular steps all the way up it).

Yep, also in Wollangambe. It's after a 'non canyon' walking section where the canyon reforms. People often have lunch on the rocks just before where the cliffs reform. You can climb a gully on the true left to get to the cliff top.

I jumped from about 10m up, then he decides to climb all the way to the top and jump off that. He had a sore arse for a week and he was wearing a 5mm steamer.

So upset that his camera casing had issues and fogged up that trip - I tried to record it, but got nothing :(
