Mt Arapiles - Rock Climb
By Greg Gorter · · From Pic of the Week
Mt Arapiles is regarded as one of Australia's premier "Rock Climbing" locations. Rising sharply from the Wimmera plains to form part of the Tooan State Park, "The Arapiles" as its commonly known, not only has unique rock climbing faces, but also a variety of beautiful flora & fauna in the Wimmera district. Situated approx 10klm from the small town of Natimuk, the Arapiles immediately engage you as a prehistoric form of metamorphic rock faces as they rise to over 370m (1,210ft) above the skyline. The Aboriginal name for Arapiles is "Djurite".
