A patch of non-scenic bushland with scattered boulders of fine Brisbane granite
Park at Bennett Rd near the bike track (Royal Pde). 10th Hole Boulders are about 50m along the bike track on right. Access main reserve by turning left past start of bike track, past bar gate, and following fire trail left and up. On right there will be several tracks leading up; take the obvious one behind a big log and follow MTB tracks or bush bash uphill until boulders are encountered. The lower boulders aren't located yet; but may be found as you proceed up the hill. Further up the hill, another fire trail leads E-W across the reserve. The upper boulders Lil Cap and Hobotown are the biggest and densest areas. Lil Cap is found perched above the upper fire trail, and Hobotown a bit further up from there. Basic map can be found in photos. Park in red area. Blue is approximate route up to Lil Cap. The Military land is well fenced so don't worry about wandering onto this.
Home to hobos, local kids, mountain bikers, and paintballers, for some time this reserve contains blocs that got their first apparent climbing in 2014. The army built a road through in late 2015.
