Information

In 1872 the township of Cadnia was surveyed a few hundred metres east of the Sliding Rock. This town catered for up to 400 miners and their families and had a sense of permanence. Horse races and cricket matches were held. A court house dispensed justice, the Rock Hotel catered for workers while 4 general stores supplied goods and food. In 1877 the mine was abandoned as was the town.

More than a century later the water became valuable as a temporary supply to Leigh Creek. For fossickers and history buffs there is much to see here. Enjoy the walk around the ruins of the early township and mining site. There are also 2 cemeteries marking the passage of time.

Permission to camp should be sought from the nearby Warraweena Station.
