White rock
The place I want to have as my Wynne entry 2025 is white rock. 
White rock is a culturally significant landmark to Aboriginal people, as the caves and outcroppings were known as spaces to connect country and personal identity and to pass on cultural knowledge. The site is also known culturally as a women’s area. However, during World War 2 US troops used white rock as a military training ground, where gun pits and “unexploded ordnance” may still be present. There are fences and warning signs in particular areas around white rock where those potential dangers remain.
