Stonehenge Esperance
A full-size replica of the original Stonehenge as it would have appeared around 1950 BC, constructed with 137 stones of pink granite quarried opposite from the Esperance site.
Stone Structure
Trilithon Horseshoe The 10 Trilithon Stones arranged in a horseshoe pattern weigh between 38–50 tonnes each, standing with 18-tonne lintels to a height of 8 metres. Blue Stone Horseshoe Inside the Trilithon Horseshoe stands another horseshoe of 19 Blue Stones. Sarsen Circle The Trilithon Stones are surrounded by a circle of 30 Sarsen Stones, each weighing 28 tonnes and standing almost 5 metres high (including 7-tonne lintels). Bluestone Circle Positioned between the Sarsen Circle and the Trilithon Stones is a full circle of 40 smaller stones. Altar Stone The 9-tonne Altar Stone lies in front of the tallest Trilithon Stones.
Solstice Alignment
The structure is aligned with the summer and winter solstices as observed from Esperance, WA. The Heel Stones are positioned on the solstice alignment line, allowing sun rays to pass through to the Altar at sunrise on the summer solstice (longest day: 21–22 December). During winter, the sun sets through the Giant Trilithon on the winter solstice (shortest day: 21 June), following the same alignment line as the summer solstice sunrise.
Stone Finishing
The surface finish is achieved using a jet burner—a diesel-fuelled tool operating under air pressure from a large compressor, similar to an oxy torch. When applied to the stone face, the intense heat causes the surface to explode, leaving a natural-looking finish. Visitor on the day
