Beringbooding Rock

Beringbooding Rock (sometimes spelled Berringbooding) is a massive monadnock 50 kilometres north-east of Mukinbudin.

Settlers in the early 20th century harvested water from the huge expanse of granite and in 1937 Australia’s largest rock water catchment tank was built by ‘sustenance labour’.  Holding more than 10,250,000 litres, it was built at a cost of £10,000 ($1,200,000 in 2026).

The roof of the tank was in a dangerous state and it was removed in the mid-2020s.

The 1750 metre long harvest wall on Beringbooding Rock encompasses an area of 7.4 Ha.

There are a number of free camping sites at Beringbooding. Toilets are provided but no other facilities.
