Location Details

South West Rocks

Australia / South West Rocks, New South Wales
Location ID: #16701

South West Rocks is an oceanfront holiday town on north-facing Trial Bay, located 460 km north of Sydney. The township was not established until 1896 and grew slowly around the mouth of the Macleay River.

Local highlights include:
TRIAL BAY GAOL
Set on cliffs high above the sea, Trial Bay Gaol was built in the 1880s to house low-security prisoners who worked to build a breakwater around the bay below, but the project was abandoned when it was only partially completed. The prison was closed in 1903 but it was re-opened in World War I as an internment camp.

FISH ROCK CAVE
Two kilometres offshore, Fish Rock Cave is reputedly one of the best cave dives in the country. The cave is a 125 metre passage through the centre of a small island, with an amazing variety of marine life including grey nurse sharks.
