Was up at Wabbit Wocks on the weekend.

If you are following the directions in the VCC NW Vic Guide, as per previous post, you have to allow for the new bypass around Faraday and Harcourt. But also as you enter the plantation land, the Christmas Tree sign seems to be completely gone.

The road beyond the Cork Oaks sign is completely washed out at the moment and I doubt even a 4x4 would be able to get down there. You need to park and walk from there. It wasn't a huge walk in despite this - prob 25 mins. The steep track up to the saddle is also very badly washed out.

Some of the routes are pretty mossy. I noticed "It's Your Money Ralph" in particular was quite bad.

One of the routes I did "The Thin End of the Wedgie" has quite small heads on the bolts. My RP brand bolt plates were not really suitable and after I topped out, the top one rattled off quite easily when I gave the rope a bit of a flick. Maybe take a selection.

Good spot for a day trip though. My 2nd visit and probably not the last.
