A small but amazing area tucked away in a couple of caves on Muline Creek. The easiest line is Pocket Full Of Dreams (23), a semi-trad line up immaculate pockets then some very spaced flakes. The hardest is Nathan Hoette's sport climb masterpiece 'Flower Power' (33). Walk up the old vehicle track a few hundred metres south of Muline Creek to a T intersection. Walk 20m right then head into the bush (rock cairn) hopefully following a track which gets better the closer you get to this crag. Located directly below Emu Rock. Walking time 25 minutes.

Path of Garth 15m 29
Located in cave with large 'hole' downhill and closer to the road than Muline proper. An easy approach pitch from the left is required to access the cave.
