Before leaving Seppelt Winery, we did a search for any nearby attraction and Sister Rocks appeared as the top result. So off we went.
The Sister Rocks is a popular attraction just outside of Stawell on the Western Highway.
The attraction is best known for its collection of massive granite boulders that have been scattered and placed on top of each other.
Some of the boulders are as high as 5 meters, while the biggest rock here is 8 meters. This attraction gets its name from the group of sisters that once camped here during the famous gold rush of Australia.
But what was once a historical site is now covered in graffiti, though many tourists still come here to take photos and enjoy a picnic amongst the rocks.
Despite the presence of graffiti, the rocks remain to be an important landmark in the area. They are recognised by the local community and the indigenous tribes because of its significance during the early settlement.
