description
Bingie Bingie is an easy access crag where you can mix bouldering with swimming, surfing, fishing, bushwalking, mountain biking or simply sightseeing. It has significant cultural heritage which should be respected. It's a stunning place to be, with bouldering merely the icing on the cake. There is even a ship-wreck!
access issues
None known of.
approach
From Moruya, head south on the Princes Highway for approximately 7 km to the locality of Bergalia. Soon after the Bergalia turnoff, after the overtaking lane appears, turn left onto Bingie Road (signposted Bingie and Congo).
Drive along Bingie Road for approximately 4 km to the tee intersection. Turn right onto Bingie Road (signposted Bingie Point, Eurobodalla NP). Take care from this point onward as there are typically kangaroos everywhere.
Drive for about 500m, just before the gravel starts and turn left into Bingie Road. After about 700m the road turns to gravel. Keep heading straight, past the Eurobodalla NP sign and the Bingie Dreaming Track sign to the carpark at the very end. You will see a Bingi Bingi visitor's information area that contains lots of information on the wildlife and cultural information of the area.
Take the track straight ahead (east) to the Bingie Point boulder field. Take the right hand (south) track to the Dreaming Stairs boulder field.
The picturesque Bingie Dreaming Track (13.5 km one way from Tuross Head to Congo or vice versa) crosses the road 100m before the parking area. It can also be accessed from the parking area by following the Dreaming Stairs access. Climbing at Bingie Bingie can be an interlude when walking or cycling the trail.
where to stay
No camping is permitted on the beaches or at the Bingie Bingie carpark.
The nearest wild camping area is at Brou Lake (NP), around 20 minutes south. No fires are allowed and booking is required. There is also a forestry rest area (Bodalla Park Rest Area) just south of the turnoff to Brou Lake where camping is permitted. The excellent Narooma MTB trails are nearby.
More suburban camping is available at Congo (10 minutes), Dalmeny and Narooma (around 30 minutes south on the highway). Please don't camp anywhere in the Bingie area of the Eurobodalla NP.
ethic
Leave no trace (no bolting, carry out rubbish, don't brush off the lichen, wash off chalk marks, etc).
history
Unsure whether they've been climbed before. No evidence found.

approach
From the Bingie Bingie parking area, take the right (south) track (keeping the Bingi Bingi infrmation sign on your left). Take the right fork after 50m (the left goes back to Bingie Point). After 200m you will reach a grassy clearing. Aim for the seat you see in the distance. The Bingie Dreaming Track joins the clearing on the right about 300m from the carpark. Just after the seat (about 500m from the carpark) follow the track sign left down the stairs to the beach. Snore Wall is to the right at the bottom of the stairs. Take your bearings from here.

Snore WallThis is the slabby to vertical south facing wall at the bottom of the Dreaming Track stairs. The rock quality isn't as good as most of the Bingie Bingie area so take care. There is further potential on the lichenous wall left of Don't Worry See Pappy, but this would require brushing, which may not be compatable with the cultural heritage of the area. Problems are described right to left. Toppos are generally at hand level. Descend the arete on the right to protect the vegetation. | ||||||||
