Lovely hike!
Well worth driving 12 km gravelroad for. First is a pretty steep climb through the bush, with lots of birds around. When you get to the open it's up and down some hilltops until you're at Bell Rock. Hold on to your hats, because the rock formations are absolutely amazing, and it is also quite (very) windy. The view of the nearby mountain range is stunning as well. The track is pretty well signposted, though on your way back there are no more posts. Just follow the 4wd tracks and the path.
