Description:© (kieranl): A yellow west-facing cliff at the head of Red Rock Creek.
Access Issues: inherited from Red Rock Area: August 2012 Do NOT approach any of the crags in this area across the paddocks from Red Rock Road. The land has recently changed hands and the farmer does not want people crossing the property. Follow the tracks just outsside the southern or northern boundaries of the famland until able to move around the farmland to the area you are going. Please adhere to this to keep open the possibility of negotiated access.
Approach:© (kieranl): GR 128793

Park at the bend in the road about 200 metres south of Red Rock Creek and walk east across the paddocks. Head up the north-east branch of the creek which goes off just before the large orange cliff on the right is reached (Crag X). Continue up rock slabs to the crag. Treacherous in the wet and tedious at any time.
