Description

A separate, North-East facing area of Thompson's Point. Captures the morning sun well as it's namesake suggests, and is a warm Winter crag. Access is convenient via access gully's at either end of the cliff line, not far from ample car parking. The public lookout area above the 'Lookout Wall' also features a picnic table.

Access issues

There is a private property boundary just meters past the East Access gully (in line with the East cliff face), do not stray past here.

Approach

As for Thompson's Point. On the dirt road when you first reach the powerline corridor (2 sets), you can either park directly under the power lines where there is parking, signage and an obvious dirt foot path to 'Lookout Wall' (East access gully), or keep driving on and take the next right down a vehicle track to a second powerline corridor (1 set) and park there where you are closer to the 'Orange Streak Wall' (west end access gully) which starts under the power line.

Ethic inherited from Nowra

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.
