On Saturday morning my wife decided to join The Boy and I on our pre- brekkie stroll. Rather than do the 'coathangar' which is what we call the airstrip circuit, we decided to strike out cross country along the lower slopes of the escarpment.
And we found a new rock face that we'd never seen before. After about eleven years this place is still throwing up surprises. This 'edifice' (what my wife christened it), lies less than 2km from our house, but we'd simply never passed it before.
Its vertical sandstone rock face is about 60ft high but unlike the smooth, water eroded cliffs along the escarpment its got lots of holes and fissures that would make it a perfect beginners climbing wall. I'm not a climber myself but can see the potential.
Its great to be so pleasantly surprised before brekkie!
The weather here is cool fresh and glorious!

Here's the new 'edifice'

The rock face
The view from the top down onto the tree tops
