Yeerakine Rock is a spectacular granite formation lookout with a water catchment reserve. It is  situated 12 kilometres out of town on the Kondinin - Hyden Road.
JS Roe made camp at the rock in 1848 during his first journey inland, due to the plentiful water and views afforded across the landscape.
A peaceful shady picnic area at the foot of the rock doubles as the start point for two walk trails with signage about the abundant wild flowers. 
​Every year Yerrakine (as affectionately known by locals) hosts the ANZAC dawn service. A spectacular light horse silhouette statue (commissioned by Brendon Kalnins), a plaque and a flag pole, sit atop the rock to commemorate the ANZACs and honour those members of the Light Horse Brigade who did not return from WWI.
A mural  painted by artist Shakey, is on the water tank alongside the monument and tells the story of a soldier leaving his family during the drought of 1914 to sail from Fremantle to serve as a soldier in the Great War, his life as a soldier & his eventual return home.
