Not Speedy's. We are still trying to find out if this area was ever bouldered before. It’s about 20mins further in the 4x4 than 'NARD' and about 15m - 20m off the bush track to the left. We just diverted from the track and drove straight up to the first area of boulders.

We took plenty more photos of the trip, and also drew a few sketches of where it is roughly, and also the rock formations close by. I have asked a fair few climbers who are familiar with this area, and nobody can confirm if these have been attempted before.

Also setup a Cairn to let other climbers know that there is something close by. This should become more useful after the grass starts growing back from the bushfires that swept through this area recently. Even though the area around the boulders remains clear for most of the year, the rock formations can be hidden from the long grass alongside the road, and can easily be missed.
I have always been meaning to explore this area, however kept putting it off to climb elsewhere.

We are planning another trip out this weekend to further explore this area, as well as climbing a few more sport routes at ‘NARD’ itself.
Hopefully the weather stays the way it has been all week. Overcast and ‘coolish’ instead of sunny and hot.

crm114 – are you a fan of Speedy’s?
