Introduction
Whitewater Creek has easy access and fun bouldering in a suburban wasteland setting. On the whole the rock is good quality, coarse sandstone with a few soft patches.
Problems are described left to right, i.e. furthest upstream first.
Access
Access is via Bunnings roundabout in Huntingfield. Drive down to the roundabout in Springfield Estate and turn right onto Eldridge Street. Go to the end and take a right turn overlooking Whitewater Creek where you will see some short crags and boulders. Walk down about 50m to the crag.

Right side of the cave from LH crimp and RH side pull.
M Hitchcock 2020
The line 2m left of Concerned Citizen. Name comes from the finishing moves. Probably best to avoid this line...
M Hitchcock 2020
Quirky climbing. Start with the cave edge and pinch.
Wander around the arete then step onto the slab.
Boronia Point Area
The Boronia Point area is a small area off the Boronia Point track that starts at the beach.
Park on Kingston Heights and head down the right of way to the Boronia Point track. At the track proper, just past the seat, head down the small track to the water and the bouldering area. Car to boulder should be 5 minutes.
Alternatively park at the yacht club carpark and walk along the track till the seat then follow the small track down. Probably takes a couple of minutes longer.
The rock is compact dolerite that has been belted by the sea.

Start at the lowest point of the face. Straight up the fold line.
1m right of Centrefold.

Start on the slope.
Start on the slope and more or less straight up.
Boronia Beach
Boronia beach can be accessed from the Boronia Point track as described in the previous section or via the track from the roundabout on Roslyn Ave. Once at the beach head to the point at the Eastern end.
Boronia beach is compact dolerite with pleasant surroundings, if you are in the area it is worth a visit but the problems done so far aren't particularly inspiring.

Awkaward sit to ordinary finish.
Start with both hands on the undercling. Top out to the left.

Walk around the point to find a small roof.
Difficult sit.
Start on the jug and sidepull.
While the rock is compact there is a feeling of unease when climbing.
Kingston Dog Beach Boulder
Just north of the mouth of Brown's Rivulet at Kingston is a freestanding boulder perched on the hillside. The new Alum Cliffs track goes right past it. About half a dozen problems, the best being the prominent arête. There are a couple of other chunks of rock on the hillside.
