Dundas Rocks and Lone Grave

Located near Norseman, a small town in Western Australia's southeast, the Dundas Rocks and Lone Grave offer a glimpse into the 1800s Gold Rush era of Australia.

This unique site is home to ancient rock formations, a ghost town, and a mysterious lone grave.

Visitors can enjoy a leisurely bush walk to see the Dundas Rocks and the remains of the old ghost town of Dundas, which thrived for only 20 years during the gold rush. The Dundas Coach Road Heritage Trail offers more information about this historic region, which ends at the Lone Grave.

At the end of Lake Dundas, one can find the Lone Grave of a seven-month-old baby named Stanley Whitehead, who tragically passed away in 1897. The timber headstone and guard rails cut out of bush timber stand as the only proof that the site was once inhabited, and is an eerie sign of the tough times of the gold rush days.

The Dundas Rocks and Lone Grave are a must-visit throughout the year. Dundas Rocks and Lone Grave are a 15-minute drive south of Norseman, which is an eight-hour drive southeast of Perth. The trail maps are available from the Norseman Tourist Bureau. Visitors can access the site via the Coolgardie-Esperance Highway.
