Geological reserve with basalt columns

The Devils Kitchen Geological Reserve in Piggoreet is a hidden gem with stunning basalt columns and a cool waterhole perfect for a summer swim. The reserve has thick vegetation, historic mine sites, and even spot Peregrine Falcon nests in the cliffs.

Elise's Tips:

Park your car at the end of Linton-Piggoreet Rd and follow the trail alongside the Woady Yolaok River to find the spot pictured here. This spot can be tricky to find and there can be pot holes, trip hazards, uneven ground and mine shafts if walking off the track. I'd recommend wearing sturdy shoes (that you don't mind getting dirty) and having an adventurous spirit as this is an undeveloped tourist site.
