After spending the night at the Glacial Rocks camp we get up early hoping to catch sunrise light up the cliff face.

Sunset would potentially cast a better light onto the rocks at this time of year but it’s a spectacular feature at any time of the day and a short, wheel chair friendly, walk from the car park.

As is our usual we push beyond the formed tourist trail on a rough but well used foot pad to explore the creek beyond.

And more of the amazing shapes

The cliff lines soon peter out and the creek snakes it’s way cross the plateau so we retrace out steps and head into Narrabri for coffee and a bite to eat before deciding to drive up to Mt Kaputar for a look.

We decide it’s way to hot to do any of the walks in the middle of the day but the road up is outstanding and well worth the drive.

But the temperature is pushing into the high 30s again so we make track down to Coonabarabran where we decide to splurge on a motel room with air conditioning.
