The Twines is a huge granite outcrop in the Twines Reserve, near Narembeen, in Noongar boodja (country) of south-west Western Australia. The Twines has dreamtime stories and many life-sustaining ngamas (gnammas/rock holes that hold water). It is a very sacred Noongar place. The Twines is in the Southwest Australia Ecoregion – one of only 34 internationally recognised biodiversity hotspots on Earth.
