Jilakin Rock, Rock formation in Shire of Kulin, Western Australia.
Jilakin Rock is a natural rock formation that rises from flat plains in the central Wheatbelt region. It sits about 15 kilometers east of Kulin and overlooks Jilakin Lake.
The settlement near the rock was named Jilakin in 1913, but authorities renamed it to Kulin in 1914 when the railway reached the area. This change marked how rail connections shaped local development.
The Noongar people tell of jarrah trees at the rock's base originating from spears that two groups planted as a friendship symbol. This story connects the land to relationships between different communities from long ago.
Parking areas and picnic tables are available at the base for visitors to rest and enjoy the surroundings. Camping is not allowed here, so plan for a day visit.
This location holds isolated jarrah trees that grow about 150 kilometers east of the main jarrah forest. They survive by using water that flows down from the rock formation.
