Free standing boulders of varying size and rock quality. Currently being developed by local climbers.
Note: There's patchy reception at the top of the hills/cliffs, but best to load guides/etc. prior

Shoalhaven group coarse grain to lithic sandstone
Follow Ulan road out of Mudgee for about 10 minutes before turning right onto Wollar road. Follow this road for 10-15 minutes. Once you've seen Cooyal Hotel you're close . Parking for Hillside is on the newly widened shoulder right next to the Silicified Boulder. Parking for the Plateau is a bit further on in the huge shoulder on the other side of the road. Parking for Cryptic is further along still, but before the left bend
Alternative: Put Cooyal Hotel into your GPS then drive 2 minutes further up.
Mudgee is the closest large town and is 20 minutes drive. Closer accommodation includes Cooyal Hotel and the Farmer's Quarters on Ulan road. Cooyal hotel is a classic little country pub only 2 minutes drive away with great food and free camping for customers. Visit the Cooyal Hotel website for more information
All projects listed or found are open!
If you're looking for new areas, it's preferable to head to the North or East of the established sectors, to keep a distance from any private property.
Some historic sports routes have been found on the cliffs behind The Plateau sector but no information was available. Re-discovered by David in 2017 who put up a few routes on the Silicified Boulder. Later shown to the more boulder oriented Emmanuel Madayag .
Blake Muir and Jen M also contributed significantly, creating the maps, a lot of the photo topos, and geolocating most of the boulders. Without them, this guide would be significantly worse.
