A classic circuit to one of Namadgi's most spectacular granite formations. From Rendezvous Creek carpark, we walk up the northern side of Rendezvous Creek, then climb steeply up through scrub to a rocky high point around 1400 metres. We then follow the ridge down to Orca Rock, a prominent rock shaped like a breeching whale. We then descend through a complex of granite that surrounds Orca Rock to Rendezvous Creek, then follow the grassy valley back to the cars. This walk is mostly off track and includes thick scrub and rock scrambling.
