Harvey's Marbles – often referred to as just Harvey's – is located out at Hervey Range and is not only a gorgeous area for a walk but also offers climbers and other adventurers world-class bouldering!

You may be asking yourself, "What is bouldering"? Bouldering is basically climbing on large boulders without ropes, either for practice or as a sport in its own right. Each route up the boulder is called a 'problem'. Harvey's Marbles has over 1,000 documented boulder problems to date, with scope for more than another 5,000. From low-angled friction slabs to crimpy overhung walls and even some decent Elvis Leg inducing highballs.
