Drive back in time
This scenic route to Grafton will take you through the historical Cobb & Co track winding its way around the Mann River.
There are plenty of fire trails and lookouts along the way to fill in your time. The Mann River camp ground is newly renovated and the perfect place to stay the night while you’re exploring. Take a dip in the river or bring your kayaks and canoes and go for a paddle. Notable attractions include the hand carved tunnel, Tommy’s rock and the historic village of Dalmorton.
The Carved Tunnel
The Old Glen Innes Road (as it’s also known) was constructed using civilian labour during the 1800s. One highlight is the short tunnel carved out of the rock a few kilometres east of Dalmorton.
Scrawled upon its ceiling is graffiti dating from the 1880s, written in black paint, each figure finished with a curl so typical of the era.
If you're heading from Glen Innes towards Grafton, the tunnel is just past the Mann River Nature Reserve - a great spot to camp, rest, explore, swim and relax. The facilities are great with toilets, tables and fireplaces ready for your use.
