Were so named by Ian Thorpe 27th November 2010, as the studded line of pagodas resemble barnacles on the side of a ship. Located above the southern side of December Creek, 3km north east of Bell. Approaching The Barnacles from the west and seeing them as a continuous line across the ravine from the Lesser Barnacles 491 908 the view is a panorama made more spectacular by the vertical cliff lines on the western edge.
