Two Rocks An aptly named small town north of Yanchep and about 54 kilometres up the coast from Perth. Despite the distance from Perth, this area is growing, probably the locality is attracting investors and retirees. Two Rocks has unique rock formations off the coast and is popular with city day-trippers. Many streets in the area are named after yachts that partook in America's Cup Challenges. Two Rocks at present is right on the outer periphery of metropolitan Perth |

Two Rocks - The Rocks The two rocks which sit off the beach are probably remnants of an ancient coast line. Over the millennia, the waves and winds have eaten away all the softer rock and sand, leaving these formations behind. Here is the larger of the two rocks viewed side-on from the north.

Two Rocks - The Small Rock The smaller of the two rocks. This one is about 500-600 metres south of the bigger one. A lucky time to be here as the tide was right out so it was accessible by foot. August 2011. Photos Ref: TWOR006 |
