Awabakal Rock climbing 21 routes in area

From the town of Dudley, drive and park near the end of Ocean St before the turning circle(, -32.993529, 151.725557 ) taking care not to block residents access. Walk down the road extension to the fire trail at the end of the street, passing two locked gates.

From the clearing with a large anglophone ( red gum) and a picnic table, you have two options:

1. Follow a narrow fisherman's track on the left that descends to sea level, passing a dubious safety line. Once on the rocks, head south for around 300m till you come to the first routes. Most of the climbs are on walls of black rock that faces south east.

2. An alternative (equally long but much more exciting) approach is via a 25-30m abseil (though it feels much higher) from a tree in the corner above the new beginner climbs (currently called unknown and unknown 2). Instead of taking the fisherman's track, continue straight to the end of Ocean View Trail/Bluff Track. You will come to a little clearing. From here, you want to follow Bluff Trail down the slope towards the cliff edge. The start of the trail is overgrown and may be a little hard to see. Once you reach the cliff edge, the abseil tree is 5m left (32°59'51.7"S 151°43'51.5"E), accessible via a small path- be careful here! The path is quite narrow, grassy and right on the edge. Don't forget to enjoy the epic views on the way down and please consider using a tree protectors/padding to keep the tree happy.
