Description

Located in Cania Gorge National Park, The Overhang is a perfect example of erosion and the impact on sandstone. Dripping Rock and The Overhang Walking Trail Distance: 3.2km return Time: allow about 2hr 30min This pleasant walk starts at the southern end of Three Moon picnic area. After crossing the Three Moon Creek the track winds through eucalypt woodland and dry rainforest before leading to the base of Dripping Rock (2.2km return). In wet times, choruses of frogs can be heard near the creeks. The track continues on to The Overhang where centuries of weathering and erosion has eroded the base of the sandstone cliff with striking yellow and red features.
