The Zawn proper has Peregrine falcons nesting therefore the Back end is closed to climbing from September to December. Port Stephen’s Council has installed parking meters with a 4 hour limit, free after 530pm. $4.50/ hr otherwise. So try car pooling and no point arriving before 130pm, or try and get one of the limited spots in the national park. ACANSW Hunter has written to the council to see if a solution can be found for climbers, similar to the boaties- who can park for 9 hours. Will update when they get back to us.
Did you know that you can create an account to record, track and share your climbing ascents? Thousands of climbers are already doing this.
