Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve

The Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve near the junction of Bundarra Road and Thunderbolts Way protects an Aboriginal cave painting site and much of the natural environment of Mount Yarrowyck. The reserve's Aboriginal cultural walk, a 3-kilometre (1.9 mi) return track, runs along the granite slopes of the mountain to the cave painting site. The track passes through one of the few remnants of natural bushland on the western slopes of the New England Tablelands. The walking track is clear and easy to follow and, apart from one short section, is level and undemanding.[3]
