It’s About the Journey Not Just the Destination

Well That’s it for us. Have had enough abuse from Social Media (particularly Reddit). Site will run until current subscription expires. Had just hoped to share pictures and our travels with people . Was also a great help with my mental health, but just can’t take the shit anymore. Enjoy the existing pages while they last.

You will find the Sandstone Caves on the Newell Highway just north of Coonabarabran in the Pilliga National Park. To get to the Sandstone Caves, follow the Yaminba Trail signpost. This will take you to a car park where you will find a map board showing you the local walks available.

The well-formed tracks take you around the sandstone outcrop that the caves are located in. As well as the caves the sandstone has eroded into some fascinating shapes. Several of the caves are sealed off to protect aboriginal artifacts, such as grinding grooves and rock carvings. There are boards explaining the importance of these artifacts to the local indigenous groups.

We took around 45 minutes to walk around the track at a relaxed pace. there were some steps to climb but overall it was an easy walk, highly recommended.
