Drawing Room Rocks Walk

Starting from the car park off Brogers Creek Road, Woodhill, this walk takes you to the Drawing Room Rocks Lookout and back via the Drawing Room Rocks Walking Trail. This relatively short, moderately challenging bushwalk takes walkers to the Drawing Room Rocks, a unique geological feature in the Barren Grounds Nature Reserve. The walk climbs steadily through lush rainforest and dry scrubland, emerging onto a plateau before reaching the Drawing Room Rocks Lookout, offering extensive views over Kangaroo Valley, Berry and towards the coastline. The unusual shapes of the rocks result from the weathering of the sandstone, giving them the appearance of tables and chairs. The track is well-defined and fairly easy to follow but has minimal directional signage, steep inclines, unfenced cliffs and sections that may be slippery in wet conditions. This walk consists of narrow walking trails, with uneven natural surfaces, rocky surfaces, steep hills and steps, suitable for moderate fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

  Other planned events: 1080 fox ground baiting program
  NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is conducting a continual and ongoing 1080 ground baiting program for the control of foxes from Thursday 12 December 2024 to Wednesday 11 June 2025.
  The program targets target foxes in the Carrington Falls, Budderoo Plateau, Knights Hill and Barren Grounds areas. Bait stations are located on NPWS estate and Crown road reserves with permissions. Both buried baits and Canid Pest Ejectors are used in this program.
  The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, particularly the threatened species within these areas.
  1080 baiting signs are at all entries to the baiting location. Don’t touch baits or ejector devices.
  Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.
  Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information, contact the NPWS Fitzroy Falls office on 02 4887 8244 or send an email.
