Wurdi Youang, Aboriginal stone arrangement in Mount Rothwell, Australia.

The site features an egg-shaped formation made of 100 basalt stones, measuring 50 meters in diameter with an east-west alignment.

The Indigenous Land Corporation acquired the site in 2000 and transferred it to the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative in 2006 for cultural preservation.

The Wadawurrung people maintained the stone arrangement as part of their ancestral traditions, with the name meaning big hill in their language.

Visitors can observe three prominent waist-high stones at the western end, marking the highest point of the stone ring formation.

The stone arrangement functions as an astronomical calendar, with specific stones marking the positions of sunset during equinoxes and solstices.
