Ben Bullen State Forest and Gardens of Stone National Park: Witches Watch, Hecates Cauldron and Tara Point. This is, in my opinion, one of the top 3 walks in the Gardens of Stone. Places are limited, so book early. Follow the Great Dividing Range north to Gordian Knot and then to Witches Watch, a spectacular lookout above Hecates Cauldron. From here, descend into the Cauldron and explore it underneath the cliff lines and also above, amidst ""the bubbles"". If time permits, visit the Capertee Valley lookout. Descend into the headwaters of Baal Bone Creek, cross the valley and climb up through Tara Slot onto Tara Point. More amazing views. From here, move up to the ridge and re-connect with the vehicles. nbelievable views, rock formations and pagodas. M323EQ.
Hazards: Scrambling and exposure. Limit:16. Map: Ben Bullen, Cullen Bullen T:
