Crag features

A sandstone cliff hidden in the bush at the foothills of Toowoomba west of Brisbane. Development started in 2000 driven primarily by Phil Box and Lee Cujes. 

Approach notes

30mins from Toowoomba / 90mins from Brisbane + 15min hike-in.

Head to the outskirts of Murphy's creek and find Paradise Creek road. It's a dirt road managable in a 2wd - head down here for ~3k ignoring any 'keep-out' signs along the way. Look for rocks or sticks along the road, and mind the dust past the houses. Park on the side of the road just before it turns and descends at a sharp left turn. Here's a map pin: https://goo.gl/maps/ZPnqmFW1yg9bqjSf9

The cliff is clearly visible to the South.

From the corner in the road, walk directly towards the cliffs to pick up an obvious small dirt path that follows along the ridge line, descending down into the creek bed. Continue along the creek bed walking directly towards the cliffs (stay on right side of creek)

Once you're at the base of the cliffs, there is a track that heads up each side (east and west). Depending on where you want to climb, either cross creek and find goats track up eastern side (for orange overhand, sharks fin, mythologica) or walk around creek further to other end of crag to a small steep feeder creek and follow disguised goats trail up western side. (for send in the clowns, alcove and trad bumblies)

Access Advice

It's a walk-in only crag, located in Lockyer Valley National Park, just down from the end of Paradise Creek Road. The main accuess issue has been a little tension from a family who live along the road, but don't let that stop you from enjoying this hidden beauty!
