Jacksons Creek, Sunbury. 3-Jun-2005 At 7:41:58 AM sjm

There are many bouldering locations around Sunbury. A number of tall, high quality bluestone bridges, several basalt cliffs along Jacksons Creek, and patches of granite boulders scattered around the place. However, most have fairly high public exposure - eg, the rail bridge near Rupertswood, the old road bridge near Goonawarra. However, there are some that are less exposed - there is a bridge similar to the one near the lake at Rupertswood, North of Salesian College, but with much less public exposure. A similar bridge exists between Jacksons Hill and Vineyard Rd, but since it's in an open paddock, you need to walk from the road (alternatively, park in the carpark at the playground on Jackson's Hill). Most of the granite boulders are on private land, but there is a small overhanging problem on the East side of Mt Holden - I've seen chalk on it a number of times, so it obviously gets worked. Anyone want to own up? :)
