Hippo's Yawn

The orange granite formation stretches 12.6 meters high, featuring smooth surfaces and weathered crevices shaped through natural erosion processes over time.

The geological structure emerged through millions of years of natural weathering, becoming a recognized landmark in Western Australia's goldfields region.

This formation stands as a natural monument in the agricultural region of Kondinin, where farming activities represent the primary local occupation.

Visitors need to purchase access permits at the entrance and should bring water, food, and supplies as no facilities exist near the formation.

The cave opening creates a natural frame that perfectly mirrors the shape of a hippopotamus with its mouth wide open.
