  <header id="1" name="Jukes Boulder Field" walk="5-10 min" sun="All day" rock="Conglomerate" acknowledgement="By John Fawcett and Grace Cumming" intro="Jukes boulder field is an area of hundreds of conglomerate boulders spread over about 500m on the East Jukes Spur, approximately 17km south of Queenstown. The boulders are free standing, and range in height from a few meters to 5 or 6m highballs. The rock is good (in relative conglomerate terms) but care and/ or cleaning is required on first ascents. The position on the top of the ridge means that the boulders get all day sun, and that the landings are generally flat and either gravelly or low heath. The stunning views over Lake Burbury to Frenchman’s Cap don’t hurt either. " history="Grace Cumming sussed out the area, with Grace and John Fawcett doing some initial boulders in 2015." access="The Jukes boulder field is about 20 minutes south of Queenstown on the Mt Jukes Rd, about 2 hours from Burnie or 4 from Hobart. From Queenstown, take the Mt Jukes Rd South through Lynchford. After approximately 15km, the road reaches a high point on the saddle between Mt Jukes and East Jukes Peak. From here the boulders should be visible on the ridge below you. Descend toward Lake Burbury for approximately 2km, then park on the left, immediately below the boulders. From here it’s an easy 5-10min walk up the hill through light, open vegetation to reach the boulders. The boulders are in the West Coast Regional Reserve. Please take care to minimise vegetation damage, as the soils here are very fragile." camping="Queenstown has shops, coffee, and a number of accommodation options. There are also plenty of unofficial camping spots along the shores of Lake Burbury, a couple of km further on from the boulders." autonumber="true"/>
  <text id="2" class="indentedHeader">Weather: As the boulders are situated at 450m elevation on the West Coast Range, weather is a consideration. Make sure you check the forecast before making the trip and allow some drying time after rain.</text>
  <text id="3" class="indentedHeader">Climbing: The Jukes boulder field offers something a bit different in terms of Tassie bouldering. All the boulders a free standing, and range from a few meters to 5m+ highballs. There are slabs, faces, bulges and overhangs. Most boulders are fairly easy, V 0 – 3 (although I’m sure there are some more difficult problems to be found). The real attraction is being able to easily wander around an area with hundreds of boulders, perched above a lake, overlooking the wilderness and climb anything that takes your fancy – all 10m minutes from the car. With this in mind, there is no “guide” as such. Just take some mates and some pads and go for it! No doubt many boulders will be first ascents, some may have been done before – it doesn’t really matter. &lt;br/&gt;The topo below identifies some obvious features to help you locate where you are, the photos give you a taste of what to expect. Enjoy!&lt;br/&gt;</text>
