Base of White Rock

White Rock, a prominent pale-coloured rockface on a peak, is the major feature of interest of the White Rock Conservation Park, situated within the White Rock, Queensland (Ipswich) locality, Australia. It is also known as "Nugum" to the traditional owners, the Ugarapul people.[1]

White Rock is a white sandstone outcrop and one of many on the ridge. The rock has views in all directions although there are small trees on top. The rock is quite soft and is covered with graffiti, from as early as 1919.

The area was used as a training area by American forces in the late 1930s and 1940s. This protected the area from logging with munitions lodged in trees creating risk for timber cutters.
