Name:
Log Slide Canyon
Description:
is located on the western side of Petries Gully, 700 m from the Wolgan River junction. Named so as it was probably used as a log slide by timber getters. Hand chiseled square holes can be found at one metre intervals on a constant slope down each side of the canyon. In places, carefully selected and measured logs still span the canyon. There are several examples of cross beams wired to each other as they collectively formed the support trusses for the deck of the slide. The detailed engineering is amazing. Named by Brian Fox, Michael Keats, and Yuri Bolotin on a bushwalk, 13 March 2015.
