access="From the Granville harbour Road travel 3 km along Climes Track to the top of a steeper section (where it gets too rough for 2WD vehicles). Walk along Climes Track down to the creek. At the creek look for a smaller track on the right which connects with another track paralleling the coast. Continue walking south on it for half an hour to a 30m high cliff set back 50 m from the coast and above a pond. Guesstimated position in AGD 66 is 341200 E; 5363200 N."
