Sawn Rocks
Visit this awe-inspiring 'organ-piping' rock formation.
Overview
Geology and music fans alike will be awestruck by the Sawn Rocks. This unusual wall of basalt is the result of molten rock cooling and cracking to create a structure that looks like a giant set of organ pipes. The flutes shoot up out of a shaded creek in Mount Kaputar National Park, ready to be marvelled at from the lookout that's an easy 15-minute stroll from the main picnic area.
Visit this northeastern NSW site at midday to capture the moment when the sun strikes the rock surface to fully appreciate the layers of columns — it's hard to believe they've been crafted without human intervention
