Elephant Rocks are the most interesting whitestone rock features of Duntroon. At one time, there was an enormous single platform of uplifted, 25 million-year-old limestone. Water ran across the rock into cracks and gradually eroded softer material away to create the extensive rock forms. This has created a large field of “elephants” surrounded by grass.
To get to Elephant Rocks, take Livingstone Duntroon Road from Duntroon for five km, then turn left into Island Cliff Duntroon Road. The car park is about two km along the road. The field of “elephants” can be seen from the car park and information panel. But take time to do an easy walk around the rocks, which vary in size and shape. Arguably, the rocks look more like a field of modernist sculptures than elephants!
Elephant Rocks is on the Alps2Ocean Cycle Trail.
