Jilakin Rock

This spectacular monolith overlooks a lake and is situated 24 kilometres east of Kulin. Travel along the Jilakin North Road to reach this picnic spot. The lake, which covers 1,214 hectares provides a contrast with the surrounding bushland.

A charming legend has grown up about the fine stand of jarrah trees which grow near the rock, although they are not native to the area. The legend is that two groups of Aboriginals met at this site. As a sign of friendship, the group from the south west placed their spears in the ground. From these spears legend has it, grew the jarrah trees which you see today.

Every year in October, the Kulin Bush Races are held at this spectacular setting, attracting visitors from all over the state.
