Boyagin Rock

[1][2][3] The Boyagin Rock outcrop rises 50 m (160 ft) above the surrounding land[3] and is an crestal area of a granite inselberg within the geological Yilgarn Craton framework.

[6] It provides refuge for a variety of fauna including numbats, goannas, echidnas and tammar wallabies.

[8][9] A traditional story of how the rock came to be is from Noongar elder Janet Collard, who said that her husband (Andy Collard) told the story of how a big Wagyl (dreamtime water snake) wound itself round and round to form the rock, and it is the last resting place of the Wagyl.

[10] Elder Cliff Humphries also spoke of the Wagyl, who would during the time of creation travel from places including Boyagin Rock.

[11] Len Collard, through his research with elders of the area, was told that calling out the name of the Wagyl at this location will bring the rains.
