Iona Road, Bunjil, Western Australia 6623
another world
Located not too far way in the Shire of Perenjori is the MidWest version of Uluru: Bunjil Rocks.
This huge outcrop of rocks provides an adventurous walking experience and the chance to watch the tadpoles that thrive in the rock pools present in the winter months. There are old campfire pits and rusty old billy’s, so it also a great place for an overnight camp. (No toilet facilities however, so be sure to bring your own dunny paper and shovel if you do have a sleep-over here.) There is plenty of evidence that kangaroos spend time here (i.e., lots of kangaroo poo), but we’ve never actually seen one during our visits.
Blue and I have a little tradition where once a month we buy a box of chips from the Carnamah Roadhouse and eat them as we drive to Bunjil Rocks. When we arrive at the rocky outcrop, we stroll around, laugh and take photos of the unique rock formations and the moss that grows on them. In the winter and autumn months I adore just sitting by one of the rock pools watching the antics of the tadpoles. They are HUGE and ever so busy.
BOX OF CHIPS please
The Carnamah Community Roadhouse (BP Petrol Station) is located on Yarra Street across the road from the Supermarket. They sell ice and a range of takeaway food including pies, chips and burgers, (and DIM SIMS - Herby’s favourite).
The roadhouse is open daily from 7am to 7pm, however you can fill up your vehicle with petrol or diesel 24/7 using a debit or credit card. If you want to phone ahead a food order, you can call them on (08) 9951 1178.
