Sandstone Area

Sandstone Area is a tiny outback shire surrounded by weathered rock formations and abandoned mines. Its main street retains a pioneer feel with a pub and general store. Locals take visitors to London Bridge, a natural rock arch carved by wind that makes a perfect picnic spot. They also follow a heritage trail past rusting equipment and stone chimneys that tell of the gold rush in a landscape now reclaimed by spinifex.
