Walga Rock, Granite monolith in Shire of Cue, Australia
Walga Rock extends over five kilometers in diameter and rises to 463 meters, forming the second largest monolith structure in Australia.
The first European documentation of this geological formation dates to 1908 when historian Daisy Bates recorded its existence during her regional travels.
The rock contains more than 980 Aboriginal art motifs within its shallow caves, including depictions of snakes, emus, kangaroo tracks, and hand prints.
The monolith stands 48 kilometers west of Cue, requiring an eight-hour drive northeast from Perth through Western Australian territory.
A white ochre painting of a sailing vessel with detailed masts and rigging appears in the rock shelter, located 300 kilometers from the nearest coast.
