One of a cluster of Remarkable Rocks on Kangaroo Island |
These massive granite boulders sculpted over millennia by wind and weather are balanced on a smooth 75 metre high rocky cliff that plunges straight to the sea.
An Aboriginal legend
A local story relates how 3000 years ago the entire Aboriginal population of the island committed mass suicide from these same rocks. Because of this event and others of a spiritual nature, mainland Aborigines call Kangaroo Island ‘Karta, Land of the Dead’. Under no condition will they venture anywhere near it.
