Summary

Easy access, a good alternative to Mt Alex if you live in the Southern Highlands.

Stays in shade until midday in the summer.

Description

A collection of cliffs from 10 to 20 metres in height overlooking a picturesque valley.

Access issues

Take care parking on the access road and close the gate if open.

Approach

Turn left onto Bessemers road at the traffic lights near the Mittagong RSL. Turn left on to Sunset Point Drive and park near 64. Walk through the gate, contine straight down fire trail, passing rock steps until the river is reached. Turn left to the valley floor. Turn right steeply uphill for 2 minutes until the crag can be seen above you on the right. OR Follow the directions from Lake Mittagong below - slightly longer but easy to find.
