Descrizione

PLEASE READ ACCESS ISSUES BEFORE BOULDERING HERE!!

Loads of rocks and boulders in the whole conservation park, most rocks in the area are fairly poor quality as far as bouldering goes, until you dig a little deeper and discover some of the excellent bouldering this area has to offer. Plenty more boulders to come as there is still a huge amount of un-sent boulders and potentially undiscovered areas.

Limitazioni per l'accesso

As popularity seems to be growing for the area, it should be noted that there is private property right in the middle of the conservation park. Before stumbling around the bush into private property, please look at a map with the property lines. If you can't find/Navigate a map, ask someone who knows. DO NOT, under any circumstances, go into the private property unless you have permission from the landowners. Unfortunately, the fence lines have seen better days and have fallen over in many places, so if you stick to the established areas, you will be fine.

UPDATE 20/8/2023

It’s now no secret that there is some incredible looking boulders in the private land, Corey Batten has been in touch with the landowners to request access to their property, and they have as kindly as possible denied the request, even if it’s just a meter over their property lines. Their reasons for the denial of access are:

Liability Concerns: Granting permission for access could expose the landowners to potential lawsuits if anyone gets injured while on their land.

Safety and Privacy: The Yarrabilba estate development has extended into the conservation parks, leading to an increase in people coming close to their homes. This situation has become unsettling for them, and they believe that allowing climbers might encourage others to think they have a right to access the land as well.

Personal Protection: The area contains wild pigs and dogs, prompting the landowners to have the right to bear arms on their property for protection. Allowing random access to their land could potentially interfere with their licensing for this protection.

the landowners fully recognise that the fences need urgent repair due to the sudden popularity of the area, they are working with park rangers to address this issue.

The land owners are kind people who deserve to live their life in peace, If you want any further information please contact Corey Batten.

Avvicinamento

Park on Quinzeh Creek Rd at the wickham peak walking track entrance. Alternatively park roughly 300m further downhill along Quinzeh Creek Rd (-27.807339, 153.146973) for quicker access for most boulders/sectors

Storia

Grafico cronologico delle vie

The first known discovery of this area was by Nate Foster in the early 2000's and he spent some time climbing undocumented around the area with Simon Moses, Vikki Moses and Co. The original Logan pine forest cave was the only documented area for many years and little information was known of the area, perhaps people have been climbing here for years without documenting, who knows? In late 2018 a tip off from Benji Bartholomew about potential boulders in this area hit the right ears. A small crew consisting mostly of Corey Batten, Sam Bowman and Benji Bartholomew with scouting help from Zac Supertramp set off to establish the area. Although there was a lot of trash boulders found at first, they discovered some diamonds in the rough.
