Join us on our heritage walk
Mudurup Rocks is a special place on the Cottesloe coast. Its rocks tell of changing sea levels over thousands of years – as recently as 7000 years ago you could walk to Rottnest. For the Indigenous people it was a special fishing place – “the place of the yellow-finned whiting”.
