Tourist attraction
Wedding Cake Rock
Coast Track, Royal Nat'l Park NSW 2232
Tiered slab of pure white sandstone perched on an ocean cliff, fenced off as dangerously unstable.
This guide to Wedding Cake Rock traces how a photo-worthy ledge above Sydney's coastline turned deadly in 2014, when a backpacker chasing the perfect shot fell from its tiered white sandstone. It follows the rock's unusual iron-leached color, and how an Instagram-fueled surge in visitors around 2015 turned a quiet lookout into a magnet for risk-takers. Stay behind the fence and look down at the pale, fresh scars on the rock face below you.
