And we shouldn't forget Eric, the celebrated red-bellied black who lived around the pond below Waterloo Wall in the Onkaparinga Gorge (south of Adelaide). He always added excitement to that after-climbing dip on a summer evening. He inspired not only a route (Upstairs at Eric's) but the name of a whole crag (Snakelands) a little upstream of Waterloo. Eric's descendants are no doubt in the Gorge right now just waiting to meet you.
Certainly, getting to Snakelands at this time of year is only for the very keen. It requires moving along the creek through chest-high grass that is jumping with browns, blacks and tigers. The crag can be accessed by a ~30m rap, but can be tricky to find from above. The best climbs there are probably worth the effort imo. |
