Canal Rocks, Granite rock formation in Yallingup, Australia
Canal Rocks consists of a series of granite formations extending into the Indian Ocean, with narrow channels carved between the stone masses by water erosion.
The construction of access roads to Canal Rocks began in 1907, transforming this traditional fishing spot into an accessible destination for visitors.
The indigenous Noongar people named this location Winjee Sam, recognizing its geological significance in their ancestral lands of Western Australia.
The site features a wooden boardwalk, boat ramp, parking facilities, and public toilets, allowing visitors to explore the rock formations safely.
The rock formation contains hornblende-biotite monzogranite gneiss with minerals including perthite and quartz, dating back 702 million years.
