Name:
Heart Attack Brook
Description:

Has its headwaters on the western side of Galah Mountain. It flows generally in north, north eastern direction for about 7.5km till it joins Rocky Creek. Within this creek is the canyon called Heart Attack Canyon. It was entered in early 1976 by a party led by Chris Cosgrove. The name was coined because the party was woken in the morning at the former Bell by someone wanting to use the phone to report a person having a heart attack. Ref: Kameruka Magazine, September 1977, Vol. 15. No. 1, p. 10.
