<header id="1" name="Andersons Reserve" walk="45 minutes" sun="Afternoon sun, south facing" rock="Sandstone boulders" acknowledgement="" intro="Andersons Nature Reserve is an area of public land in the Elderslie area. It has quite a lot of sandstone within its boundaries, but unfortunately has only one public access point - all the other boundaries are adjacent to public land. This makes the walks quite long. But there is some good bouldering to be found if you don't mind a bit of a walk.<br/>Bring a brush to all areas, it’s likely any of the new problems will need brushing again. There is also lots of unclimbed rock to discover." history="" access="From Hobart drive to Brighton and then Broadmarsh on C185. 1.2km past the road to the Elderslie Golf Course, turn right onto Cockatoo Gully Road. Follow this for 5.5km and turn right onto an unsignposted road that leads to a locked gate. Park here. The drive is about 45-50 minutes from Hobart. The walks are described under the individual areas.<br/><br/>Get the map and/or GPS points loaded up on your phone before you get here - mobile coverage is very sketchy in the reserve and at the parking area, and you’re going to want the gps points." camping="" autonumber="true"/>

<text id="4" class="text">This area has a great group of steep freestanding boulders in front of a wall. It’s about 45 minutes walk from the car. It’s on a oauth facing hillside which gets sun in the afternoon. <br/><br/>Follow the GPS track to get there:<br/>1. From the car park, walk along the road for a few hundred metres until it takes a turn downwards.<br/>2. Strike up the hill, roughly following the ridge, and start tending left at the top<br/>3. At the very top of the hill you will hit an old road. Follow this to the left until you hit a fence.<br/>4. Follow the fence line for 800m until it ends. Note that the fence is broken down towards the end.<br/>5. Follow a road along the ridge for a few hundred metres<br/>6. At a turning circle directly above the boulders head down (south) towards the boulders. You can’t see them until you are right at the back wall. Find a gully in that to scramble down.</text>
