For unending scenic wilderness
views over The Great Dividing Range, head for Tommys
Rock lookout and walking track, in beautiful
Mann River Nature Reserve, near Glen Innes. The imposing rocky knob is a short drive from Mann River
campground and
picnic area. Fit bushwalkers will love the challenge of the steep walking track to
the summit. Whichever way you get there, the crisp mountain air and panoramic
views will take your breath away.
Named after Tommy McPherson, a remarkable Aboriginal man who, legend suggests, was a skilled stockman, bushranger, escaped fugitive and gold digger. If you’re walking the steep track, pause to catch your breath and keep your eyes peeled for signs of Tommy’s secret gold
mine.
Brush-tailed
rock wallabies, with their distinct cheek stripe, live around the rocks near the
lookout. You might also hear the raucous glossy black cockatoos feasting on the nearby she-oaks.
Tommys
Rock walking track offers scenic mountain
views across the Great Dividing Ranges in
Mann River Nature Reserve. You can choose to walk or 4WD along the trail to
the summit. 8km return.
If driving the trail, 4WD is essential due to steep rollovers and rugged terrain. Not suitable for trailers
The weather in the area can be extreme and unpredictable, so please ensure you’re
well-prepared for your visit.
