- Approach:©
-
Drive out on Apollo Road as for 'Booroomba', but go all the way to the squashed remains of the Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station (at the end of the bitumen). The dirt road, starting from just right of the gate here, provides access to all the 'Orroral Ridge' outcrops. The condition of the road varies, but 2WD is generally possible. Beyond 'Honeysuckle Crag' the road winds up to a carpark where, once upon a time, a big scaffolding tower stood, above 'Tower Rocks'. The road passes a turnoff on the left (locked gate) which leads past 'The Battlements' and into the 'Orroral Valley'. See topo/map.
