The Leven Canyon, located in the wilds of Tasmania, is home to some of the wildest whitewater in Australia, if not the world. The area is so remote, that just getting there can be a challenge, but thankfully the team of kayakers in the video below made the effort, and brought us back some outstanding footage.

Some cool footage, and I imagine it could be a challenge getting the kayaks in, but so remote? Less than an hour from my own bed to the canyon itself. :!:
