Write a reviewSawn Rocks is a 40 metre basalt cliff face featuring perpendicular-octagonal shaped rocks, resembling a giant series of organ pipes. Over thousands of years, some of the enormous slabs of rock have fallen to the bed of Bobiwaa Creek below, resembling the crumbled pillars of an ancient or roman temple. Torrents of water over the ensuring years have eroded away the loose dirt exposing Sawn Rocks. Amongst the clear rock pools and the smooth rock bed of the creek at the base of the formation, that the rock is fractured into octagonal shapes identical to the cliff face. It is believed that these plunge a further 60 metres into the earth below.

A 900 metre walking track offers a 10 minute stroll, through tall eucalypts, morton bay figs, wattles and many varieties of delicate ferns. The upper reaches of the creek reveal a fascinating scene of clear rock pools, horizontal polygonal rocks and some superb plants and trees. To access Sawn Rocks you must travel to the Northern End of the National Park along the Bingara Road (approx 36kms from Narrabri with 15kms being unsealed)
