Wyalup Rocky Point, Bunbury

Wyalup-Rocky Point near Bunbury, WA, is a significant cultural and geological site known for its ancient, 130-million-year-old basalt rock formations, Indigenous Noongar heritage (meaning “place of mourning”), and stunning sunset views.

It offers facilities like lookouts, picnic areas, playgrounds, and a free 48-hour self-contained RV camping spot (permit required) near Back Beach, ideal for photography and exploring tidal pools, though not great for swimming due to rocks.

The 130 million-year-old Basalt Rock can only be seen on Wyalup Rocky Point in Bunbury, at Capel and Black Point in the Southern Forest and Valley’s region. It was part of the Kerguelen large igneous province that formed over a period from about 130 to 95 million years ago as Australia, India and Antarctica split apart.

The Bunbury Lighthouse is a striking landmark. It stands some 25 metres above the ground and its light is visible from 27 kilometres away.

The original Lighthouse on Marlston Hill served for 33 years until 1903 when increased trade created the need for a more modern facility. It was moved to its present site in 1971.
