Information

The Granites are a significant Aboriginal rock art site, 9km north of Mount Magnet. It is a place of strong cultural significance to the Badimia tribe. Previously this site was the location of bush camping sites, but these have long since been removed and a 24 hours rest further near town has been established for travellers. This site is strictly day use only. Signage will assist with locating the art works and the nearby gnamma hole.
