One of the reasons I wanted to go back to the Beacon area in Western Australia was to go to Elachbutting Rock. It’s not far from Beringbooding Rock which I’ve already written about.
Elachbutting Rock is another large granite outcrop which stands out from the surrounding countryside. It has a spectacular coloured ‘wave’ and a 30-metre-long tunnel called Monty’s Pass which was caused by a rock slide.
I thought it might be very similar to Beringbooding Rock but it has its own beauty and unique features. There is a free camping ground to the south of the rock but you need to be self-sufficient although there is a single toilet in the grounds. We intend to go back there one day to camp and do some more exploring.
And don’t you just love some of our names?

Thanks. Some of these 'out-of-the-way' places are really fascinating.

One site says that 'Elachbutting' is thought to mean 'that thing standing' which seems appropriate.

Have you and Vince gone into the tunnel? Is it a tight squeeze?
Sometimes I giggle about the names of things/places in Australia...
