Royal Tenterfield

Standing proudly on the NSW–Queensland border, Bald Rock is one of the region’s most iconic natural landmarks.

Rising from the surrounding bushland, this enormous granite monolith is the largest exposed granite rock of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and offers spectacular views across the New England High Country.

Whether you tackle the summit via the steep Rock Face walk or take the gentler Bungoona Walk, the reward at the top is well worth the effort.

Have you made the climb to the summit of Bald Rock?

At the Royal Tenterfield, we are fortunate to be custodians of a grand building rich in history. Over the years, many distinguished guests have graced its halls, each leaving behind stories that form part of our shared heritage.
One such occasion occurred in October 1946, when the Royal hosted the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. The Duke, Prince Henry—the third son of King George V—was serving as Governor-General of Australia at the time. During his visit to Tenterfield, he unveiled a commemorative plaque at the School of Arts, honouring Sir Henry Parkes' historic Tenterfield Oration of 1889. That influential speech played a pivotal role in Australia's journey towards Federation and led to Tenterfield proudly being known as the “Birthplace of a Nation.”
It's fascinating to imagine the conversations that took place during that royal visit. The town must have been abuzz with excitement, with locals gathering to catch a glimpse of their distinguished guests and share in a moment of national significance. One can only wonder what stories were exchanged within the walls of the Royal as Tenterfield welcomed royalty and celebrated its unique place in Australia's history.

Some exciting news for one of our members in this year’s King's Birthday Honours List 2026 from Government House Canberra.

Our own Patrick Pickett was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the General Division “For service to performing arts, particularly through music”.

Please join with us in congratulating Pat on his award.

Pat said this morning that he is excited and thrilled to receive the award but he could not have achieved this without the strong support over the years from Rhonda.
