Approach trail pulling off the Burma road at the top of the first switch back. Walk up and past koala rock and climbers left (northwest) around the wombat until you find the juniper tree and the bolted start.

Pitch 1
Looking down the dihedral pitch, definitely the best of the route. Good jams with lots of stemming.

Final pitch of Birds in a Rut.
Easy walking pitch but hopefully this photo will make it easier to find the anchors. This was taken from the top of pitch 2. Pitch 3 is climbers left.
This is the pitch 3 belay you're looking for
