Drive 12 km south of Tenterfield via New England Highway to reach the Bluff Rock Viewpoint rest area. Park safely and walk to the monument commemorating the Aboriginal people killed in the 1844 massacre. Read the information panel in the shade before the midday sun gets too strong.
14:30
Walk the 1 km south on the right-hand side to the closer viewpoint at the turn-off to Bluff Creek Road. Be mindful of highway traffic while you enjoy the unobstructed views of the rock formation.
15:00
Return to the main viewpoint area or stay near the rest area to finish your visit. There are no food or drink shops listed in the immediate vicinity, so bring your own water and snacks if you plan to linger.
Local tip
There is no access to the summit of Bluff Rock. Keep a safe distance from the New England Highway traffic when visiting the secondary viewpoint.
