Bald Rock

A quick drive takes you to Bald Rock NP and we are soon off to climb Bald Rock a 350m climb at 30°. This Granite rock is somewhat impressive at 1,277m above sea level and the 360° panoramic view is worth the drive and climb for anyone. The Great Dividing Range was named for a very good reason.


We are on Day 16 of our first leg on a two year trip and we cannot believe the beauty and adventures we seem to be having each day. Can it get any better than this? You bloody bet it can! We started the climb down the Rock and the first people we met warned us of a Brown Snake some 8 feet long. (I’m a bit suspect here biggest bloody brown’y I’ve ever seen was 6 foot and I can sometimes exaggerate a story a bit) We didn’t cross its path. Next stop Stanthorpe our first crossing into QLD. We stopped for our customary lunch time beer and some local knowledge about Girraween NP
