Escort Rock, Natural heritage formation near Eugowra, Australia
The sandstone rock formation extends along Escort Way, featuring natural geological patterns shaped through millions of years of environmental forces.
In 1862, bushrangers conducted a gold escort robbery at this location, stealing £14,000 in gold and bank notes from a transport coach.
The formation stands as a physical marker of Australian colonial history, representing the period when gold transports faced threats from organized criminal groups.
Visitors can access the site through Escort Way, where a designated parking area and information signs explain the geological and historical details.
The rock formation contains marks and indentations that match historical records of positions where the bushrangers concealed themselves during the robbery.
