Sugarloaf Rocks

Sugarloaf Rock is a large, natural granite island in the Indian Ocean just off the coast, situated approximately 2 kilometres south of Cape Naturaliste in the Southwest region of Western Australia.

It is separated from the mainland by a thin channel of water. The rock is very photogenic, and PB really enjoyed the drone flight.

The rock derives its name from the distinctive conical shape reminiscent of an old-style sugarloaf. It is designated as a nature reserve and a nesting site for seabirds such as the red-tailed tropicbird.

A sugarloaf was the usual form in which refined sugar was produced and sold until the late 19th century
