About White Blow
Park features
The park, covering almost 2ha, was gazetted in 1974 to conserve its unique quartz outcrop. White Blow is the largest of several irregular masses of quartz (silicon dioxide) in the area. Standing 15m high with a diameter of 45m, it is an outstanding and unusual geological formation.
