Experience the striking beauty of massive granite outcrops rising impressively from the Australia’s Golden Outback landscape. An abundance of natural vegetation is waiting to be discovered around these unique rock formations where wandoo, salmon gum, dense honey-myrtle and tea tree thickets give way to flowering granite Kunzea, with their gnarled shapes.
You will marvel at the fascinating gnamma holes developed by Aboriginal people to collect precious water. Attempts to keep rabbits from the crops are visible in the remains of the Rabbit Proof Fence.
The journey is a memorable contrast of picturesque farmlands, colossal rocky outcrops, vibrant floral displays stretching into the distance, tranquil picnic spots and a profusion of bird and animal life. Be touched by nature while taking the time to travel through this truly fascinating region.
