The Rock Nature Reserve - The Rock
Address: Tootool, Lockhart Road
The Rock, NSW 2655
Know as Kengal to the local Wiradjuri people, The Rock towers 250 metres over the surrounding countryside, and is thought to have been a site for initiation ceremonies. The reserve is an island of natural habitat for native animals, including the turquoise parrot and glossy black cockatoo.
The Rock Nature Reserve is in the southern Riverina of New South Wales, and lies on the boundary of two major physiographic regions: the Riverine Plain and the western slopes of the Eastern Highlands.
On a clear day, you can see Mount Kosciuszko and the Victorian Alps from the top of the three kilometre Yerong nature track.
This craggy outcrop has picnic areas, bush trails and a three kilometre Yerong nature track to the summit, where it is possible on a clear day to see Mt Kosciusko and the Victorian Alps on the far horizon. Can be accessed via the Tootool/Lockhart road.
