About Camels Hump (Mount Macedon)

Camels Hump is the volcanic summit of Mount Macedon in Macedon Regional Park, about an hour north-west of Melbourne, with steep sport routes and taller trad lines, some multi-pitch, on trachyte. It's about five minutes' walk from the Camels Hump car park; parking is limited and Parks Victoria doesn't allow road-shoulder parking. At around 1,000m it is often cooler than the surrounding country, which makes it a summer crag, but it is also often in the cloud, and deep cracks hold moisture, so expect damp rock after rain and in fog. Parks Victoria permits rock climbing only at Camels Hump, in the area bounded by Cameron Drive, the Camels Hump trailhead, the Macedon Ranges Walk and Mount Macedon Road; reach it from existing tracks.

Region: Melbourne & Geelong
Rock type: Trachyte
Aspect: mixed-facing
Altitude: 980m
Exposure: high
Seepage: medium
