Bald Rock is the largest granite monolith in Australia, situated near the Queensland - New South Wales Border just north of Tenterfield. The relatively short walk provides great views of surrounding Bald Rock National Park and neighbouring Girraween National Park.
From Tenterfield take the Mount Lindesay Road north and then turn left into Bald Rock Access Road and follow this for 5km to the car park.
From the car park, take the walk to Bald Rock. After a couple hundred meters you come to a 'Y', take the right (straight); this way is the hardest way up. Keep following the track until you come out of the bush and meet the bottom of Bald Rock.
From here, there are white discs marking the direction upwards. As usual follow the standard white markings up.
Take your own water supply, as none is available on the trail.
Park entry fee applies (2022 = $8 per vehicle/day) Part entry fees and camping permits can only be purchased online from National Parks NSW. The camp grounds are just behind the car park.
Base yourself at Bald Rock Camp Grounds and take advantage of a spectacular sunrise or sunset from the top.
