Burra Rock is 50 kilometres south of Coolgardie and 30 kilometres north of Cave Hill.
Surveyor N.M.. Brazier named this granite outcrop as Champion Rock in 1893. However, in 1899 the Department of Mines applied for Burra Rock Reserve to be declared around the rock, and it has been shown by that name on all subsequent plans.
Widgiemooltha is 38 kilometres to the north-east of Cave Hill and the track out can present challenges at any time of year.

The track between Burra Rock and Cave Hill is a poorly engineered road with at least four bends that ‘tighten’ as one negotiates them (instead of ‘loosening’) and one ‘reverse-camber’ bend. A trap for the unwary. The surface of the road is, however, ok. [Time sensitive information].
