Enjoying a romantic moment from the Lookout...
The area is composed of 450 million year old metamorphic rocks that have been eroded to form 30 metre sea cliffs that are fronted with rocks, reefs and sea stacks, including the one in a shape of a camel! Camel Rock is one of the oldest rock formations in New South Wales and was created by undersea avalanches with rumble down continental slops!
The pathway to the Camel Rock Beach Lookout...
The striking rock formation was identified and named by Bass and Flinders during the first mapping of coastline of the colony of New South Wales and today is a popular attraction by both locals and visitors alike.
