Information

The water-streaked dome of Bald Rock is the largest granite rock in Australia - 750 metres long, 500 metres wide and 200 metres high.
There are canyons and stone arches on the three-hour return walk to the summit, which offers panoramic views - on a clear day you can see well into Queensland. Other walks (4 to 14km return) take in the surrounding granite country. The track to the foot of Bald Rock is wheelchair-accessible, with assistance. The camping area suits car-based camping and medium-sized caravans, and has toilets and creek water.
Access 29 km north of Tenterfield off the sealed Mt Lindesay (Woodenbong) Road onto the sealed entrance road. Vehicle entry fee applies. Camping fees apply and bookings online required. See separate listings for locations, details and links.
