Description

A few lowballs. Some of the only granite in Brisbane. Some big flakes like to come off so take care!

Access issues inherited from Keperra bushland

Stay off the road past the gate. The bush on the right side is public land still, stick to it.

Approach

-27.422706,152.944696 Approach up the path from Keryn Place Park heading towards LL. Head uphill past the powerlines and veer left just after the gravel turns to dirt. Bush bash E/SE for about 150m. See attached topo.

There is a tempting earlier turn off but it is absolutely overgrown with cobblers pegs.

Ethic inherited from Keperra bushland

There are many lithopyhtic (rock clinging) losenge orchids growing here. Climb around them, and don't damage or remove.

No known history, likely none. Extensive cleaning had to happen to find anything climbable.
