7ha.
The Corroboree Rock, a striking limestone crag, is a place of great significance to the Aborigines.

Corroboree means a meeting place for ceremonial, ritual or warlike occasions, usually accompanied by dances. The term is now also applied to the performances of Aboriginal dances organized for tourists.
A short walking trail runs through the area.
