A cool, convenient and condensed cluster of shorter boulders with a good selection of easier - intermediate problems, plus a couple of test pieces to throw in the mix. With the exception of a couple of boulders, the area remains well shaded throughout the day. All within 50m from the car, this area makes for an easy outing with some quality lines. Problems will be described from upstream to downstream.
Be wary at any coastal or riverside crags for the potential of crocodiles and if you're in the water marine stingers.
Driving along Barron Gorge Rd, as you pass the final houses you will head down a short curving hill with a National park sign at the bottom and an obvious pullout/dirt parking area on the right hand side. Continue past, roughly a further 100-200m and park at the first decent pullout on the left side of the road, with room for a couple of cars here. A steep, but open gully at the end of this parking area provides the easiest access down to the boulders. From here (bottom of gully) Bear Hug (V2) should be immediately to your left. Boulders are up and downstream of here.
Boulders are listed here in order from upstream to downstream.
Brush holds. Respect veg as much as possible, wildlife and rock.
