The Crack

The Crack
Deep inside the Kalk Bay Mountains is a hidden crack in the rock. A great place to explore and find solace in a busy life. This spot is off the path and takes a bit of across the bush walking (about 10 minutes) but it is worth the investigation.

This is a nice spot to sit and relax, or read a book and never get bothered by a living sole. To be really honest if I wanted to totally disappear off the map and have no-one find me even if they came looking for me, this will be the spot.

I enjoy this spot because there is no path nearby, I can watch people from on high, with a view out the crack, and no-one can get to me.

There is also a secret mini-forest near by which has a secret entrance, which I also tell you about.
You also get to walk through beautiful terrain, and climb up a peak with an incredible view.
As this is a hidden place, and unknown to the tourist industry, the PDF attached, is unlocked after a small fee is paid. The PDF contains full details on how to get to this incredible place along with other fascinating information about the area.
