Lincoln's Rock

Blue Mountains National Park

New South Wales, Australia

Friday 7th February 2014

It is the rock that famous mountaineer Lincoln Hall and his wife Barbara would sit on and watch the sunset, a rock they walked by with their dogs, a place they took other famous mountaineers to and somewhere they enjoyed with their now grown-up children Dylan and Dorje. Now, this spectacular slab of sandstone on the edge of the Jamison Valley in Wentworth Falls and unofficially called Flat Rock or Honeymoon Rock, will be formally renamed Lincolns Rock in his honour. Hall’s widow, Barbara Hall, who lives near the site, is delighted that the gesture has been made by the Geographic Names Board and passed by Blue Mountains City Council who owns the land.
