A nice climb to Mt. Boulder. From the start to the summit follow the ascending track through beautiful forest to arrive at the telecommunications tower and some narrow views through trees. Circuit around from this point is along access roads - not the nicest but the surrounding forest is pleasant. Signs on route indicate that some climbing/scrambling is required however this is not the case - although it is a reasonably steep incline and gets the heart pumping.
