Overview
Highlights
Esperance Stonehenge is a must-see Aussie Bucket List attraction when visiting Esperance in Western Australia's Golden Outback. The Esperance Stonehenge is the only full size replica of the original Stonehenge in the UK. It appears as the original would have looked around 1950BC. It consists of 137 stones of Esperance Pink Granite that were all quarried locally less than 1km from the stonehenge’s final resting place. The natural stone provides an energetic feel and the circular shape amplifies sound. It is a truly amazing sight to behold and a magical experience!
The Stonehenge was built to align with the Solstices here in Esperance. On the morning of the Summer Solstice (21st or 22nd December) the suns rays align with the Heel Stones and shine through to the altar stone. The sunset of the Winter Solstice (21st June) repeats the same alignment in reverse. Both are an amazing sight to witness.
