Popular tourist destination worth a visit. Aboriginal legend behind the name of these geological rock formations. A very good vista over the valley and note the 'blue' haze from the eucalypt trees.

An iconic Hotel, once a Health Resort in the 1920s-1930s. Tastefully restored in last 10 years and very worthwhile for a visit of historic value, and for the amazing view. Have High Tea in the Wintergarden Room or, if on a budget, find a velvet covered armchair and have afternoon tea or cocktail in Cat's Alley. Look up the tours timetable as this will be fascinating. Or drop into the Cafe to read up the well researched historical presentation.
