Tenterfield Weather Rock

Tenterfield Weather Rock is a local novelty attraction located in Black Swamp along the New England Highway. This outdoor installation features a large stone hanging from a wooden frame, accompanied by a sign explaining how its appearance indicates current weather conditions. For example, if the rock is wet, it is raining, and if it is moving, it is windy. It serves as a popular point of interest for motorists travelling through the northern highlands of New South Wales. Situated a short drive from the Mount Mackenzie Nature Reserve, the site offers a practical example of regional Australian humour. Visitors can stop briefly to view the display and read the instructions provided on the adjacent board. The attraction is situated in an open area, making it easy for vehicles to pull over safely. It provides a distinct contrast to the natural granite landscapes found throughout the surrounding Black Swamp district and the wider Tenterfield shire.
