Sandstone Caves - Pilliga Nature Reserve - Coonabarabran
Address: Newell Highway
Coonabarabran, NSW 2357
The Sandstone Caves are located approximately 35 kilometres north of Coonabarabran within the Pilliga Nature Reserve. The Sandstone Caves are a series of cathedral type caves that have been formed over many thousands of years through the weathering of the fragile sandstone.
The Sandstone Caves are a special place for the Gamilaraay people and is a good place to experience Aboriginal Culture in the Pilliga Nature Reserve. Please respect the site and the wishes of the Aboriginal community in the care and management of the place. All plants, animals and rock features in the Pilliga Nature Reserve are protected.
A 1.7 kilometre medium grade walk begins at the car park with a sign welcoming you to Gamilaraay country and takes you through a picturesque part of the forest to the impressive sandstone hills. The numerous caves along the walk range in size and colour and some contain Aboriginal rock engravings.
