The Granites

The magnificent breakaways of The Granites share a connection with the Badimia people that stretches back 20,000 years.

With driving, cycling and walking trails and picnic sites, these granite outcrops rise to 20m and are spread over several hectares. Erosion has sculpted the soft white granite beneath the laterite to form ridges and caves and huge rounded boulders.

The Granites is a popular camping site for the Badimia people and is an important part of their ceremonies, with rock art of wallaby and emu tracks and handprints dating back 9,000 years!

The Badimia were also drawn here for The Granites’ shelter and the abundant flora and fauna including sand goannas, kangaroos, emus, echidnas, saltbush and mulga.

The Granites holds great significance to the Badimia people, so please treat it with respect.

Most roads are suitable for all vehicles but some tracks require 4WD.
