Duck Reach has some really good quality boulder problems of all grades and still has some potential for more problems.
Access is no problem unless the water is very high.
Annoyingly, there have been numerous recent reports of break-ins at the top carpark. Maybe consider taking any valuables down to the cliffs with you, or at least keep them stashed well out of sight.
Park as for the access to the old Duck Reach Power Station. From here walk down to the suspension bridge and turn down the steep steps leading you down into the riverbed just before you reach the bridge. From here, most currently developed bouldering is located upstream of the suspension bridge
