Bald Rock National Park Description

5400ha.

The dominant feature in the park is the huge granite dome of Bald Rock (750 3 500 m, 200 m high), surrounded by bush country. From the summit of the rock, which can be climbed on the northeast side, there are fine panoramic views, extending as far as the Tweed valley. Large numbers of kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and birds live in the park. The area round Bald Rock was known to the Aborigines as Boonoo Boonoo. The area round the rock was declared a protected zone in 1906; in 1971 it became a state park and in 1974 a national park.

There is a trail to the summit of Bald Rock (2 km).
