Rocky Gully was first settled by Andy Roland who walked across the Nullarbour to seek his fortune. Now the area is mainly dominated by sheep, cattle and timber and lupin production. There is a shop, service station and rest room facilities are located in the town.
There is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area.
The Aboriginal name for the area is ‘Chullurup’ which translates as ‘place of white ant nests’.
Located just 68 kilometres west of Mount Barker on Muir’s Highway.
Rocky Gully is the gateway to the Nornalup wilderness and the Frankland River where people go to kayaking and canoeing.
