The Bus Shelter & The Gallery both contain some of the very best problems of Harvey's Marbles and have a more adventurous feel than The Inner Circle.
The Gallery is characterised by the massive boulders tucked into a nicely shaded hillside. Lots of big boulders characterise The Gallery, making it a reasonably unfriendly beginner's area (with a few exceptions).
The explorative side of The Gallery offers a mini taste of the adventure to be found at Andromeda and The Lost World.
Stay well away from the rifle shooting range (http://www.tmrc.com.au/). This is private property and potentially extremely dangerous.
The first challenge you will find in accessing The Gallery and The Bus Shelter will be the track. Although quite well established, there are parts of the track that can be hard to follow. To help, several viewpoints have been included to guide you in the correct way.
The track you follow is a continuation of the main path that goes past The Fun Parlour (the one going L from the top of the road embankment). Follow it past Middle Marsh and up a slight rise until you reach viewpoint. From here continue following the track until it reaches a clearer area.
The hill ahead is The Gallery hill; head towards the LH end of this hill. Follow the track down and then L as it passes around a small cluster of boulders. It will then cross through a grassy, sometimes damp area. The track is harder to follow here.
Follow the thin track up the gentle slope and then up a steeper little rise onto a clear platform with nice views of the Paluma Range to the west. The start of The Gallery will be on the right and a small boulder with a cairn will be in front of you. From here you can go up the hill to The Red Boulder area in The Gallery.
Please respect the local ethics and at all times, look after the environment. This means definitely no chipping, use your wire brush sparingly and only on the holds that you are using, leave the trees alone (it is often possible to pull them aside temporarily if they are covering a problem), and of course take out everything that arrived with you. The rocks are covered in beautiful paint-like lichen that for the most part doesn't interfere with climbing. If you need to clean lichen from a problem, remove only what is essential, and preferably as little as possible.
Harvey's has innumerable very high lines, such as Spenser's "Deliverance" and "Walk The Line". Despite this, Harvey's Marbles remains a bouldering crag and therefore no bolting is allowed. Top roping is fine if you want to do something that is too high for you to boulder.
This is private land and we are very lucky to have permission to access it please follow some simple rules:

MS and SB tended to develop this area in areas, starting with The Red Boulder area and gradually moving through the other 4 sectors. In 2013, MS and SB turned their attention to the Hidden Aretes area.
