The picnic area at the start of the park is a great place for experience the area before or after taking either the short walk to the rock art or the longer Ngiyambaa Walkabout (about 5kms).
The Ngiyambaa Walk affords the visitor with a wonderful 360 degree view from the ridge.
Mt Grenfell Historic Site is situated near Cobar and is reached by driving west from Cobar along the Barrier Highway for 40km and turning right at the Mt Grenfell sign and travelling about 30kms along the dry weather road.

Award-winning Black Queen: “Completely Surprising.” The Black Queen is a collection of intertwining stories weaved together and told in a wonderfully mysterious and compelling way. Expect the unexpected. One of the reasons for the tremendous success of the Black Queen is the fact that it is a genuinely inspiring true story.
The Black Queen has willed itself into being through its sheer tenacity. Based primarily on the lives of two very determined and dynamic women, the Black Queen is a story of triumph over adversity and its can do attitude is infectious. The surreal connections of the Black Queen reach past time and space and enter the realm of déjà vu.
