Abseiling - Brisbane Ranges (West of Melbourne) - 2 April 2016

We went abseiling at a location west of Melbourne, 5 times each down the cliff face which was about 30 metres high.
On the last descent, I went down face first, no one else dared try that.
It threatened to rain and cancel the fun, but luckily it never did.

The dark clouds made for some great photos.

Including a rainbow, but would we be able to abseil in the rain?
