“A trip to Sawn rocks will leave an unforgettable impression and should not be missed”.

The 900 metre well graded track to Sawn rocks starts from a conveniently located picnic area (with BBQ and toilet facilities) just off the Bingara - Narrabri road.

As the best time for photographs is after midday, when the sun shines fully on the cliff face, we recommend people have a sleep in before taking a leisurely late morning country drive followed by a BBQ lunch and a stroll to Sawn rocks for that perfect picture.

Details of the walking trail

The walk starts at the Sawn rocks picnic area and is well graded although there are a couple short sections with steps. Following the left hand side of a narrow tributary of Bobbiwaa Creek the trail passes underneath a fig tree a reminder of Kaputar’s moister past, other remnant plants of the rainforest era include Lilly Pilly and Wonga Wonga Vine. The tall trees in this area despite their appearance are not actually Eucalypts but another rainforest remnant called Rough Barked Apple trees (an Angophora rather than a Eucalpyt).

As you walk further into the narrow gully you will notice the temperature drops and it is damper, this is why these rainforest plants have survived. After 20 minutes you will see through the trees on your right the high cliff face. Following the trail down the gully you are presented with Sawn rocks.

Standing at the the bottom of this 40 metre cliff take the time to reward yourself and admire the view and its lush setting. But don’t forget to look down around your feet at the columns that have been “sawn off” over time and get a close up view of those perfect 5 sided columns above.
