Polda Rock
A granite outcrop and historic catchment reserve near Wudinna, with a short walk, spring wildflowers and a heritage rock-water dam.
Polda Rock is one of the lesser-known granite outcrops of the central Eyre Peninsula, near Wudinna. Like many of the region's domes, it was once used to harvest scarce rainwater, and a heritage stone water channel and dam still ring part of the rock.
A short walk leads up the granite for wide views over the wheat country, and after winter rains the seasonal gullies green up and wildflowers appear among the rocks. It is a quiet, uncrowded alternative to the busier granite landmarks nearby.
