Thurat Rift Creek is a watercourse located in the Kanangra region of New South Wales, Australia, within the broader Blue Mountains area. The creek flows through a remote and rugged canyon environment, characterized by a series of significant waterfalls and vertical drops that require abseiling (rappelling) to navigate. The overall character of the creek is wild and lush, with the water plunging over multiple abseils in quick succession. A major feature along the creek is Thurat Falls. Access to the creek for a descent involves following the King Pin fire trail to Mount Thurat, then proceeding along Thurat Tops to the intersection of Thurat Ridge and Burra Gunama Ridge to reach the start of the canyon. The trip is described as a hard, demanding, and remote two-day canyoning adventure covering approximately 33 kilometers, with an exit route via the Thurat Spires. This indicates the experience is suited only for experienced, well-equipped canyoners and is not a typical flatwater paddling route. The environment is remote, and the activity involves significant technical rope work and wilderness travel.
