Old Coach Road Drive

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

The short drive takes in the ruins of the Rockholes Hotel that was built to accommodate passing trade between the two towns, as well as spectacular rock formations like Wana Karnu and Split Rock.

Also along the drive you’ll find great spots for viewing the kangaroos, wallaroos and emus that live in the park.

After a 10km drive to the end of the road, you’ll see that Split Rock is a 3km walk from the carpark, so come prepared for a bit of bushwalking and plenty of photo opportunities.
