Humpty Dumpty allows paddlers to warm up and get rid of the butterflies.

Mothers Nightmare is the first major rapid, providing a technical grade 4 rock garden, closely followed by this tight 2 metre drop.

The next major rapid ith The Waterfall. This has a nice easy line, but a horrible entry and a nasty hole on the left and The Toaster (infamous for pinning rafts) in the right. The entry (up river from this picture) is a narrow shallow rock slide with two small but, sticky holes on either side. The worst part about it that the entry is blind (and you have to get the centre of the rock slide otherwise you fall off either side into the holes) and then the line of the waterfall is blind. This is my nemesis. I haven't had any problems on it, but is scares me every time.

Unknown with a perfect line on The Waterfall.

A few metres down stream from The Waterfall is The Rollercoaster. A big, scary fun grade 5. The rolercoaster has two parts (but you can't stop in a raft). First is The Devils Couldron with is blind, tight, fast, sticky and nasty (there is a chicken chute, which most people take). The second part is The Bottom Drop, shown in the last 4 photos.

The Bottom Drop has 3 narrow chutes feeding into a seething mass of whitewater which goes off two small drops. The hole on river right by two of the chutes it steep and sticky, and not nice to get stick in.

Unknown under Book Rock.

The line is to boof the central rock (called Boof Rock) and then take what comes. You usually end up seeing sky and often have to roll. Great fun, and fairly safe. It is possible to do it many times.
