Discovering Western Australia's Rocks
Western Australia is a massive place, and it's home to many incredible rock formations. These aren't just any rocks; they are special places that have been officially named and recorded by the government. This process is called "gazetting." It means their names and locations are written down in official records, like a big map book for the whole country.
What Kinds of Rocks Are We Talking About?
This list includes all sorts of cool rock features. You'll find:
- Boulders: Large, rounded rocks.
- Pinnacles: Tall, pointed rock spires.
- Crags: Steep, rugged rocks.
- Needles: Very thin, pointed rocks.
- Pillars: Upright, column-like rocks.
- Rock formations: Groups of rocks that have been shaped by nature into interesting forms.
- Tors: Large, free-standing rock outcrops, often found on hilltops.
This list does not include huge single rocks that are called "mounts" or "hills," like Mount Augustus. It focuses on the smaller, but still impressive, rock features.
How This List Was Made
The information for this list comes from official records up to 1996. Even though some names might seem a bit old, they have been checked to make sure they are correct. If any new rocks have been named or removed from the official list since 1996, they might not be on this page yet.
The names of these rocks are usually written in capital letters in official documents. But here, we've changed them to normal writing so they are easier to read. The locations are exactly as they are officially recorded. Remember, some very large rock formations can spread out over a big area!
