Large sandstone boulders and butresses in a small but dense jungle-esque valley. Recently discovered, alot of cleaning required but alot of potential. Keeps relatively cool in the heat.
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.
Head out of North Nowra along Illaroo Road. When you get to Bangalee, take a left into Koloona Drive. Keep driving for about 2.5km until the rood takes a steep downhill into some rocks. Park either at the top of this hill (gated entrance) or at the hairpin at the bottom (space for 2 cars maybe). There will be a bushwalk signposted into the jungle. Follow this and explore at will. Gladerunner, Clever Girl etc are around the rocky scramble on the track and Endor, Dark Paradise etc are off the end of the signposted Forest Glade.
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.
