The Wall of the Four Winds was discovered and developed by Mark Gommers and is situated on the upper section of the Great Wall. Access via abseil chains. Fortunately, this upper section is within the civilian boundary. If you abseil to the ground, you will cross into defence (Commonwealth) land. The rock and all routes in this area are spectacular. As this is all trad climbing and can only be legally accessed via abseil, you need a solid skill set. This is not a place to get into difficulties.
Visiting climbers are advised that a significant proportion of the cliffs lie in Department of Defence (Army) land. Trespassing on defence land is an offense. The Townsville City Council (TCC) controlled cliffs require a permit for climbing and/or abseiling. Do not park too close to the gate else your car may be moved. During the year, the car club holds races on the mountain road; during this time road access is closed. Mark Gommers is negotiating with the TCC to remove certain onerous restrictions such as a permit and indemnity insurance.
Installation of permanent anchors (eg bolts) is not permitted on City Council land or Department of Defence (Army) land. Take all rubbish with you. - Be aware of loose rocks and other climbers who could be below you.
Discovered and developed by Mark Gommers during the 1990's.
