Boulder Rock

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:00:00 +0800

I went to this place called Boulder Rock after work, both because I needed to get some fresh air, but also because I wanted to test my (still) new camera, the OM-5 Mark II.

To actually get to the location, you follow Brookton Highway for a bit. I would heavily recommend GPS navigation for this, as actually spotting it through the trees while going 110Kph (~70Mph) is not that easy.

When you get there you can park your car on the side of the road. When I did some research before I went, I saw old(ish) posts mentioning how it used to be accessible by car, that there was signage and park benches all around it- but that has since been removed. The oldest references I could find to this was about 2011, so those signs haven’t been there for a good 15 years now.

This post features some of the first pictures I took with my new OM-5 Mark II, using the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO lens with a 1/8th Mist Filter.

The Building

The building is the old Victoria Barracks, which was acquired by the Commonwealth in 1909 for about £3,000, equivalent to about only A$476,000 in 2022, the style is like other federation free classical buildings and is currently owned by the DoD of Australia¹.
