Boyagin Rock is located Шаблон:Cvt south west of Brookton and Шаблон:Cvt north west of Pingelly in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, which is approximately Шаблон:Cvt south east of Perth.[1][2][3] The Boyagin Rock outcrop rises Шаблон:Cvt above the surrounding land[3] and is an crestal area of a granite inselberg within the geological Yilgarn Craton framework.
The Boyagin Nature Reserve contains Boyagin Rock, and is widely recognised as one of the few areas of intact original fauna and flora in the Avon Wheatbelt bioregion.[4] It provides refuge for a variety of fauna including numbats, goannas, echidnas and Tammar wallabies.[2] The reserve was established in 1978, and covers an area of 1.21 km2.[5]
Aboriginal significance
Boyagin Rock is known to the Noongar as "Boogin"[6] and according to the Balardong Noongar it is a site of significance. A traditional story of how the rock came to be is from Noongar Elder Janet Collard who said that her husband (Andy Collard) told the story of how a big Wagyl (dreamtime water snake) wound itself round and round to form the rock, and is the last resting place of the Wagyl.[7] Elder Cliff Humphries also spoke of the Wagyl who would during the time of creation travel from places including Boyagin Rock.[8]
Len Collard, through his research with elders of the area, was told calling out the name of the Wagyl at this location will bring the rains.[9] Another belief is that if you walk to the top of the outcrop without stopping you will have a long life.[6]
