Boulder Rock is a great place to visit. It's located in Karragullen, in the eastern corner of Midgegoroo National Park (formerly Canning National Park), right next to Brookton Highway. It's a huge granite rock outcrop, with various large boulders scattered over the top, and provides lots of interesting angles for photography. There's also plenty of wild flowers and scrub in the bush around the rock.

Unfortunately, the carpark and picnic area has been closed, so you'll need to park on the side of the road when visiting the rock.

Here's a selection of photos from my recent visit.

Update: If you're interested in visiting Boulder Rock, it's about 18km down Brookton Highway (from Armadale) - see here for the location on google maps.
