The Humps

The Humps is a granite outcrop and nature reserve located about 17 kilometres north of Hyden in the Shire of Kondinin, Western Australia. It is notable for Mulka's Cave, which contains more than 450 Aboriginal hand stencils, one of the largest collections in Western Australia. The reserve features twin granite domes, bushland, seasonal wildflowers and walking trails, offering cultural heritage and natural scenery near Wave Rock.

Visitors can expect a natural bushland reserve dominated by two large granite domes with open woodland and scrub. The main attraction is Mulka's Cave at the base of the northern dome, containing extensive Aboriginal hand stencil art. Short walking trails lead around the granite, through the cave and to viewpoints. The area is quiet and undeveloped, with picnic facilities, interpretive signage and seasonal wildflowers in spring.

The Humps contains Mulka's Cave, an Aboriginal heritage site with more than 450 hand stencils believed to be up to thousands of years old. The cave is associated with the Aboriginal legend of Mulka, an invalid boy who lived in the cave. The site is one of the most significant Aboriginal rock art sites in Western Australia and is protected as an Aboriginal heritage place.

Significant cultural site for Noongar Aboriginal people, featuring extensive hand stencil art and the Dreaming story of Mulka. The cave and surrounding granite are interpreted for visitors as an important example of Aboriginal cultural heritage in the Wheatbelt region.
