Description

Nicholson Rocks has been a popular picnic area since the late 1800?s when local settlers regularly visited it. The walk starts from just inside the reserve?s southern boundary along the Kentucky Road entrance.

The track descends into a moist gorge surrounded by towering boulders, tree ferns and Blackwoods. After heavy rain the gorge comes alive as the mostly dry creek tumbles its way through the gully.

Please contact Department of Environment and Primary Industries for more information on maps and directions. Further information from a local office should be sought before embarking on any of the walks.
