Hanging Rock was a small gold mining village in northern NSW and now consists of a few houses. This is a popular place for gem fossicking where you may find sapphires, zircon, crystal and prase (A variety of Quartz) or maybe even pan for gold. Sheba Dams are found just out of Hanging Rock and a number of people were camping around the water’s edge. These dams were originally created to supply water to the gold mines, but are now used for fishing and swimming.
Of course we stopped for lunch so we could say we had a picnic at the Hanging Rock.
