The wall faces north, making it ideal for a winter crag. In winter, the sun shines on the wall throughout the day, with some partial shade from surrounding trees. During other seasons, it receives morning sun but becomes shaded in the afternoon. After heavy rain, there may be some water seepage for a while, but the wall usually dries enough for bouldering by the next day after light rain.
This climbing area has recently become a focus spot for tension between climbers and the local Aboriginal community. Be informed and respect closures. Clean up chalk and rethink adding additional new routes to crags with access issues.

Take the Bangalee Forest Walk trail and walk down.
At the fork, stay to the left.
Continue down and cross under the power lines (do not follow them).
The trail will narrow and become bushy.
Walk for about 25 meters after crossing the power lines, and then turn left into the bush to reach the crag.
Mostly developed as a sport climbing and bouldering area. Some trad climbing exists, mainly the pure cracks. If developing new areas keep an eye and and ear out for Aboriginal cultural heritage, including cave art.
If you know where this crag is then please take a minute to locate it for the climbing community. Please contact us if you have any issues.
