        class="intro">Another bouldering spot in suburbia worth at least one or two visits with a handful of good sandstone problems is Gordon's Hill Rocks.</text><image

        class="access">From Lindisfarne take Gordon's Hill Road and turn left onto Kent St. Take the first right (Avoca St.). Park here. Walk from the end of the street into the bush (apparently there is a right of way here near the vacant block) and follow the fence line until you see a poxy little boulder.  Head uphill from here to find the main group. At the top on the left is a vertical wall with a few problems and eliminates on it. A couple of metres downhill from this is a boulder which is undercut on its North face and now has "bong on" sprayed across it- this is the Main Boulder. </text><text
