Photo Courtery: Phil ( I had to archive this) |
Hanging Rock, an outstanding feature near Baltzer Lookout is at the end of Ridgewell Road, Blackheath. A huge, overhanging block of sandstone over 100m high, sticking out to the Grose Valley.

It is detached from the main cliff and has been featured in the movie "The Edge" we were told, I havent watched the movie though.

Daisy Field |
This was an easy walk along fire trails of around 10km in total. Total ascent of 300 m over several minor undulations; none of which were challenging. Glad, it was not the hard one for I had first timers, my cousins walking along. The view of daisies covering was breathtaking, also wildflowers.

We jumped across onto the Hanging Rock. A slip could prove fatal. Fortunately I had my cousins on either side of the cliffs to support. Being a phobic, I was proud I could jump (with a little help from my cousins ;)). They were the first to jump across and the group gave us the name "Three Mountain Goats", the reason being we are from mountains.

We finished our walk with the famous pie of Blackheath. The gourment pies were larger than average pie,could be meal in themselves. We shared. :)
