  **THE WAIT IS OVER - THE HILLWOOD ROCK CLIMBING AREA REOPENS**

The Hillwood Rock Climbing Area is arguably the best sport climbing crag in Tasmania. There are over 150 routes of excellent quality, with unrivalled accessibility. The highly featured rock is a change from the vertical dolerite found elsewhere around northern Tasmania and the cliffs face all directions making it climbable most of the year.

**CONDITIONS OF ENTRY**

Access times are daylight hours from dawn to dusk.

Users of this area do so at their own risk and take full responsibility for their own safety.

George Town Council does not inspect or maintain the climbing hardware. If you notice any damaged or missing hardware, please contact the Northern Climbers Club of Tasmania on <ncct7250@gmail.com>.

Vehicles must remain on the designated roadway and only park in designated carparks.

Users must not trespass into the neighboring farmland or interfere with livestock.

Please use the toilet and rubbish bins provided.

 

 

**OVERNIGHT STAYS PROHIBITED**

Including camping, caravans, campervans, placement of temporary structures, shelters or tents.

**FIRES PROHIBITED**

Including campfires, barbeques and gas stoves.

**WOOD COLLECTING PROHIBITED**

Including cutting trees or collecting fallen wood.

**ANIMALS/PETS PROHIBITED**

Including all domestic animals and livestock.

For any maintenance or general enquiries, please contact George Town Council on (03) 6382 8800
