List of rocks in Western Australia, O-S facts for kids
This page is a special list of all the officially named rocks, boulders, and cool rock formations in Western Australia. These natural wonders are found both on land and in the ocean!
When a rock is "gazetted," it means it has been officially recognized and given a name by the government. This list helps everyone know where these unique places are.
You won't find famous places like Mount Augustus on this list. That's because Mount Augustus is called a "mount" (like a mountain) or a "hill," not just a rock formation.
This list was put together using official records from 1996. We've checked the names to make sure they are correct. If any new rocks have been named, or old names removed since 1996, they might not be on this list yet.
