Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Whilst visiting the numerous National Parks in the area, this quick stop is well worth the effort to stop at. This is an opportunity to educate the young ones of recent Australian history and our bushranging infamy. Climb in amongst the rocks and set your imagination loose of times-gone-by. A short well-maintained path will get you to the hideout.

This is a must do for the whole family. it's a bit out of town but a good drive. The walk up to the Hideout is an easy 150m walk through the bush

Finally got here! Been waiting years! When you get to the sign.. take the track to the left.. it was over grown.. and wet.. don't take good shoes..
Up at the boulders.. you can see where the horses were kept.. but you gotta go around a bit further to the left.. and you will see the overhang hideout..

Image a time when there were no cars. People rode horseback, or in carriages, and the roads were not safe.
Highwaymen stopped travellers and relieved them of their goods and wealth, before disappearing into the bush, where they could hide in caves and unknown places, impossible to find.
This is one of those places, and when you go here, you will see why he was able to avoid being found. Find this cave and then climb up the hill behind it, through the exit at the back of the cave, for some magnificent views.

Short trek from the road to Thunderbolt’s hideout. Set in a cave surrounded by massive granite boulders. Worth seeing for sure

This hideout is only 150 metres from the road. it is an easy walk along a natural trail. The bush is really pretty and we were amazed when we came upon the pile of humingous rocks. These rocks were piled on one another so that many small caves and hiding places were formed. You can crawl through to stand on top of some of these. The leaf litter made it a bit slippery so wear solid walking shoes...no sandals as snakes would probably be everywhere. Kids would love this little adventure, but you'd need to keep an eye on them so they didn't topple off. Definitely enjoyed our hour there.....

Short, easy walk through typical Australian bush - track easy to follow but wear walking shoes. Huge rocks everywhere - balancing on each other - breathtaking views. Many opportunities for photographs.

The Hidotu would connect with the nearby Tank Traps from World War 2 with a bit of maintenance on the overgrown track. The track firect from the hIghway to the Hideout is a pleasant small walk on a well marked track, but you;d need a machete if you walk on to the Tank Traps from there.

Wow! Unbelievable that he actually took his horses around the area, so interesting to walk around the rocks and boulders and the board at the front was very informative.
