Seldom visited collection of granite boulders on a hill in Strathbogie state forest.
Descrição
Molha quando chove
Barjass hill sits within Strathbogie state forest at about 600m elevation. Crowned by the large egg boulder named "The Boob", the hill has a fair amount of granite boulders scattered across it, with the steeper side of the hill to the east hosting a larger number of bigger blocks than the gentler sloped western side. Not a great deal of moss seems to grow on the boulders during the drier parts of the year.
A decent amount of shade is provided throughout the day by light forest covering the hill. Ground cover is minimal on the western side of the hill (other than right off the road) and thickens up on the eastern side, but for the most part it's easy to walk around.
Landings are hit and miss and usually consist of sticks and old rock flakes, however there are some areas with clean landings. A pad is recommended.
Phone reception (Optus network) is good over the higher elevation parts of the hill.
Questões de acesso
Permitido
The hill is on state forest and general state forest rules (e.g. no fires during total fire bans, fires must be supervised, dogs are allowed but must be under control, etc.) apply. The state forest is closed to the public on Code Red Fire Danger Rating days.

From the Midland Hwy unning between Benalla and Mansfield, take Harpers Rd which becomes Barjarg Track, passing a few farms and weekenders, into the state forest, a few twists and turns and then up on the hill to the right you can see lots of obvious boulders. There is a lay-away on the left on a slope (GPS coords -36.911082, 145.960095) or you can continue a bit further up the hill for a flatter parking spot. If you drive past Harpers No. 1 Track, you've gone too far. Head straight up the hill towards the boulders.
Onde ficar
There are several options to camp in the state forest, otherwise best visited as a day trip out of Benalla or Mansfield.
