Point Perp is located within a Navy Weapons Range and is closed on most weekdays for live fire exercises. It is generally open only on weekends and during NSW school holidays, but even at these times access can be restricted due to crowding and the limited amount of car parking within the range. In peak season the entrance gates can therefore be closed for hours at a time until the range empties out again; at these times consider starting early to beat the rush. At all times of the year, it is best to ring the rangers to check accessibility before you go (02 4448 3411), to avoid the risk of being turned away.
If the range is closed you can always go to the Town Cliffs, accessed from Currarong.
Park on Lighthouse Road 6.6km from the entry gate. You should be next to the edge of the UXO restricted area and an access road. Walk down this access road keeping the UXO area fence on your left for about 15 minutes until you hit another gate saying 'no entry'. There should be a sign for Crocodile Head and a track through the heathland on the right. Follow this sandy track for about another 15 minutes until you reach the flagpole at the top of the cliff. This is just above the sketchy fisherman's descent and the Silver and Gold Wall. The Main Wall is another 100m scrub bash south of the flagpole.
Point Perp is predominantly a trad crag. There has been more bolting recently but this is a particularly contentious topic. A lot of the bolts are the traditional Aussie carrot and some routes require you to bring up to a dozen keyhole hangers.
