      CAWA,

      Just letting you CAWA, and fellow climbers know that their is a new gate and padlock at the entrance to the main quarry (3 June 2012). No visible way around for the moment.

      I assume that climbing is no longer permitter in the main quarry. Could CAWA please advise as to what is happening.

        Hi Ash,

        Barrington (or Gosnells) Quarry main section has never officially been open to the public. It is under the City of Gosnells jurisdiction and from what I can gather, the CoG do not want the public to access this area due to public liability insurance reasons. The gate has been put up numerous times and has been torn down or destroyed by people each time it was re-erected.

        They are aware that the public want (and do) access the quarry, however, it is not deemed safe for public access and therefore will continue to be gated off.

          So the gate is a \”we told you not to\” incase someone gets hurt ?
          Or will someone come and chase people out ?
