Description

This easy 1.5km return walk beside a shady creek bed leads you to a spectacular rock formation - the unique, organ-pipe cliff face of Sawn Rocks and scenic views. The magnificent Sawn Rocks are one of Australias best examples of a rock formation called organ-piping because they look like a wall of giant organ pipes. They are a fascinating reminder of Mount Kaputars volcanic past. Its a short and easy 15-minute walk along the shady track to the lookout at the foot of Sawn Rocks. To get the perfect photograph, its worth timing your visit to reach the rocks after midday when the sun is shining directly on the striking cliff face. Treat yourself to a well deserved picnic or barbecue at the lovely Sawn Rocks picnic area on your return. The track to the lookout is around 750m and is suitable for wheelchairs, prams and visitors with limited mobility. While the track is sealed, some assistance may be needed along undulating sections. Pets and domestic animals (other than certified assistance animals) are not permitted. NSW National Parks are non smoking areas.
