Not the worst crag in the Perth hills
Not the worst crag in the Perth hills
Really needs a better name than "Quarry Creek" which implies it's a quarry which it is not. It is in fact, a rather high and impressive steep wall. Unusually good rock for a Perth micro crag and unusually high. Easy access too.
What’s the catch ? Not many routes and despite the wall being impressive, it really could do with some more holds. However it is 100% worth the visit. Especially if you continue down gulley to the boulders at Peak Discontent for a few routes.
Oh yeah, keep an eye on your cheese sandwiches and iPhone. As the local goats are keen on human contraband.
These areas are located in the Avon Valley National Park, so a fee is payable on entry (currently $15 per vehicle). Bring cash
Follow google or your chosen equivalent to Quarry Rd Morangup. Drive down Quarry Road and turn rightward when the main road continues on as Forty One Mile Rd. This is just before the old airstrip (a big exposed grvael strip easy to see on google). Quarry Rd is gated at this point, just 100m or so off the main gravel road. Park here and avoid blocking the gate.
Walk down the continuation of quarry rd, down hill, for 20mins or so and take the first road on the right. Follow it for 5mins to a creek crossing at the bottom of a gulley. Head down the gully toward the Avon River, easy open bush for 5-10mins. You will see the impressive wall on your left soon enough.
