Access: Hillwood is OPEN!! Please read before climbing...

Hillwood climbing has finally reopened after many years of closure. Exciting times! Georgetown council has negotiated a lease agreement with the land owner, but it remains PRIVATE PROPERTY - so please adhere to best behaviour, so we do not once again lose access!!

  • No overnight stays or camping

  • No fires or fuel stoves

  • No animals or pets

  • No firewood collection

  • No trespassing onto neighbouring paddocks, or interfering with livestock

Also - please consider carpooling from home, or from the nearby Hillwood Football Oval to manage current carpark capacity. Try to park tightly within the marked spaces, and DO NOT park along Craigburn Road if carpark is full!!

Refer to the updated guide here for any new approach details, as there have been extensive track works/realignments across the property. Major junctions are now signposted, and all tracks have been flagged with tape. Many routes have also had their hardware inspected &/or rebolted.

Please look after the crag, yourself, and each other - happy climbing!!

Even though some of these are long enough to be routes this has been developed as a bouldering area so no short routes or retro-bolting please.
