Rocky Horror 1
Located 15 km south of Mount Barker, Rocky Horror 1 was planted in 1988. It first took two years to clear the intended vineyard of the massive subsurface boulders, some of which were the size of small cars! Once removed, many of the boulders were transported to nearby port town of Albany and used for the construction of a breakwater in King George Sound.
