The area that I am referring to, from the perspective of 'bouldering' (jeez you have to choose your words carefully in this place) are the 'fairly significant' overhanging / undercut sandstone outcrops along the edge of the footpath overlooking the OH and The Bridge on the Westerly side of Mrs MacQuaries Chair

Yes, they are sandy at present and probably brittle in parts but they do look a lot better than Queens Park from a bouldering perspective

I have visited the Wolloomooloo traverse a few times and the prospects here look much better (more interesting)

Clearly it is a highly sensitive area, but like Balls Head with The Opera House and The Bridge as a backdrop it is a location that might be incredibly photogenic and also a bit of fun - like the 2 fun dynos on the sandstone walls at the bottom of Macquarie Street - just where the sandstone walls that run around the back of the Opera House begin

Anyway, back to the original point - the rules relating to offences in The Domain quoted in my original post do not specifically outlaw bouldering or even roped climbing for that matter

Does anyone have any experience of bouldering here and drawing heat from officials or rangers etc?
