Mackenzie Basin
Clay Cliffs

An unusual geological formation of spectacular ‘badlands’ eroded pinnacles and gulches.

The Clay Cliffs are also an important backdrop to the local high country landscape – a wide braided river valley covered mainly in tussock grassland.

The private owners have protected the site under a QEII open space covenant and charge $5 to assist with the cost of providing public access facilities.
