Bouldering near Jindabyne 3-Jul-2012 At 3:43:40 PM Dave.k

Maybe a decade or more ago, my brother Mike and I developed a bunch of stuff around Berridale. It was the opposite side to the dam- we went to the homestead on one of the farms (the one with the largest boulders) and befriended the farmer.

After asking where the biggest boulders on his property were, he welcomed us to take a look and kindly gave us directions to a cluster of boulders that would dwarf the Citadel. It involved driving through a paddock through a few cattle fences to beyond what you can see from the road. The quality of the granite was vastly better than the grey stuff up higher or near the lake. It was orange and finer-grained.

Anyway, it was all a bit too much trouble with the private access and all, so we never made a big deal out of it. That said, there was some fantastic stuff.
