These granite boulders are situated in the hills of Tallaganda National Park in a beautiful eucalyptus forest. The hills in this area are known for their evening mists and it is a reliably cooler place to climb when the weather is warm. The bouldering is quite spread out along the road in small concentrations, although there are tonnes of granite boulders. This area was first developed as a bouldering area by Duncan Brown and has now seen a lot of development from the usual Canberra climbers. The granite quality here can be excellent with fine, crisp holds.

To get there drive out of Queanbeyan towards Bungendore on the Kings Hwy and take a right turn onto Captains Flat Road. Drive along this for a fair while and then take a left turn onto Briars Sharrow Rd (easily missed). Cross the creek and continue up a short distance and take the next right. Drive to the end of this road and at the T-intersection turn right. This is Hoskinstown. Drive through and take a left which turns to dirt (Forbes Creek Rd), pass the fire brigade and up and over the hill to Forbes Creek (very small group of houses), take a sharp right, then a sharp left and head up the road till you arrive at the intersection with North Black Range Fire Trail.
