The woman, in her 30s, and her partner were canyoning at the Twin Creek Falls, near Temple Basin, when she fell between 90m and 100m. "The man roped his way down to the bottom to where his partner was," pilot Angus Taylor said. Arthur's Pass was intended as the last stop before their return to Australia.
