The Cave - Castle Rock - Chillagoe
Updated 17th July 2025
Sunrise at Castle Rock, 8th January 2024.
I have been visiting Castle Rock since 2019. It was not until 2014 that I got a photo I was quite happy with. This sunrise was amazing!
Visiting with my wife for the first time in 2019.
This place is just so special. If you are lucky enough to have it to yourself as we have, take your time, sit down and enjoy the view.
Above all make sure that before you leave you lie on your back and look up at the ceiling rock art. Truly a special place.
The cave is here in Castle Rock.
You will find the cave on the left in the Ramparts section of the National park just before you enter Chillagoe. If your car has low clearance then park and walk the short way in. It will be worth it.
While you are at Chillagoe make sure you see the balancing rock and visit the caves at Mungana. Both are free.
