This orientation table, or mini-compass rose, is located on a sandstone slab at the edge of a massive rock face in the upper Blue Mountains. The view of the Grose Valley below is spectacular. You can also see Katoomba and Blackheath to the west.

The rose sits on a steel anvil, a reference to the name of the rock it sits on - Anvil Rock. There is a great history about the anvil and the orientation at (visit link)

You can reach this rose after a short 60 metre walk from the end of an unsealed section of Hat Hill Road. Best to visit this area on a clear day, and not if it is windy and/or wet.
