Bald Rock National Park

The granite monolith rises 260 meters above the surrounding landscape, measuring 750 meters long and 500 meters wide at an elevation of 1300 meters.

The granite formation emerged 220 million years ago when magma intrusion created the Stanthorpe Adamellite, which remained after surrounding rocks eroded.

Three Aboriginal nations - Jukembal, Bundjalung, and Kamilaroi - used Bald Rock as neutral territory for gatherings and trade activities.

The park features two marked trails to reach the summit: a direct steep route on the exposed face and a gentler path through bushland.

Water streaks pattern the surface of this granite dome, which stands as the largest formation of its type in Australia.
