Out and about in Perth Hills 24-06-2025

     A few weeks ago when I was looking for places to go on Google Maps, I came across  a large area of bushland with a few granite outcrops spread around,  I have been curious about this place for a few weeks but couldn't work out how to get there, I noticed there was a few tracks around and it was close to a rest area, I don't always get the chance to use Forester for my trips, the other car is an old I30 ,and I can't take that offroad much, so after spending some time on Google maps, I found a route to get there but with the use of my Mountain bike, so I folded the back car seats down and took the front wheel off the bike and put it in the back of the I30.
