The road in to Jawbone Carpark can be quite bumpy and is prone to trees falling down across the road, but the road isn't that bad - still very manageable in a 2WD. The Jawbone Creek track has a grade of 4 which means, bush-walking experience recommended as tracks may be rough and steep. Once you get to the boulder area there are several boulders that are close but many more that take a little exploration.
