Description

Elachbutting Rock is a massive granite outcrop, a very popular camping sport for 4x4 wheel clubs and for locals, also a popular site for weddings. The name Elachbutting is thought to mean that things standing which is quite feasible as Elachbutting is a large granite rock, a prominent landmark standing out from the surrounding countryside. It has a spectacular colourful wave similar to Hydens Wave Rock with the added beauty of Montys Pass, a 30m tunnel caused by a rock slide. An echoing cave similar to an amphitheatre is close by. The 6km track, which is a one way drive from NW entrance, around the rock with its dense trees and shrubs hide many interesting species of flora. The east side is renowned for its masses of Donkey Orchids at the base to the rock. Camping is free and facilities include toilets, picnic tables and fire pits. Pets are not permitted.
