Jacksons Creek, Sunbury. 31-May-2005 At 12:52:23 AM rush

Hey one and all,

I was recently looking around Sunbury for places to hold competitions in Biketrials. I found a pretty nice, seemingly untouched area down in Jacksons Creek, and being a lurker/muck around climber, I thought I would post here.

Preface: I dont know whether any of this land is private property, so go at your own risk.

Its Mel ref: 382 H8 basically, I have an old melways so not sure if its right or not.

If you get to the top of the Jacksons Hill estate, just before the entrance to Western Water, jump the fence to your left and head straight down the hill towards the small waterfall you can see. From there head right (downstream) and you will find what I found the other day. Lots of fun, small climbs, and a few good boulder sections, possibly a couple of bouldering sections over water too.

The max height for any of them would be around 30 foot I would guess, with some overhangs and some really fun looking stuff. I couldnt see any bolts or chalk down there so I have assumed it is a virgin, but please correct me if im wrong. I dont have gear or anything, so I couldnt try anything there.

If you want some more info, please contact me at tobe@observedtrials.net . I will endeavour to get pics this week and post them here for your perusal.

Cheers,

Tobe.
