Mulka’s Cave near Hyden
The cave is full of Aboriginal rock art, which is rare in south-west WA. Archaeologists have dated artefacts found there to as far back as 400 years ago.
The hands on the roof of the cave are said to have been made by the giant Mulka who lived there. He had been born cross eyed and couldn’t throw his spear accurately to hunt so he caught and ate children. After he killed his mother, he fled south and was hunted down and killed by the people of the district. They left his body to the ants as they did not want to give him a proper burial.
