About Dog Rock
Rock Formations, Interesting Places, Natural, Geological Formations
Dog Rock is a large, natural granite outcrop that juts from the ground along Middleton Road between Middleton Beach and the centre of Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.
The rock is a prominent landmark and has the shape of a dog's head when viewed from the western side, leading to the name. The Noongar people know the rock as Yacka which means "wild dog tamed"; it is thought to be an ancient territorial boundary marker. Local Aboriginal people will not camp near the rock or shelter beneath it, although the reason is not known.
