Hanging Rock, The Blue Mountains

Tucked away in the heart of the beautiful Blue Mountains, is one of the more awesome sights I’v yet to come across.

Located in Blackheath at the western end of the Mountains, with about a 5km hike inland, houses just a fascinating sight.

Hanging Rock, I’d say named as it looks, as it gives the impression that the rock is barley hanging onto the main part of the mountain.

With about a 200 meter drop down, it definitely pays to keep your footing as you get near the edge.

I was there on a over cast rainy morning, witch gives the pictures a little bit of mood, but I’d love to go again on a clear sky sunrise as I think it would be even more spectacular.

So I’v re added it to my list and look forward to getting down there again someday.

It took around a 3 hour return trip from the carpark and is a pretty flat track. Except for the last 100 or so meters that has some hills to climb and and down, is was a pretty easy hike there and back.

I’d definitly recommend it as a hike and a photoshoot, just check the weather as it’s a long way back to the car is it starts to rain(10km return).

It feels a little similar to some other cool rocks such as Wedding Cake and Eagle Rock both in the Royal National Park. An awesome trip all round and can’t say enough about the awesome trip out.
