← All stone circles

Esperance Stonehenge is a full-sized replica of Stonehenge, in Esperance, Western Australia. It was built from 137 locally quarried stones of up to 50 tonnes (110,000 lb), and is aligned to the summer and winter solstices. In total, it weighs 2,500 tonnes. It is designed to be a copy of the original, intact Stonehenge from about 2000 BCE, rather than the currently extant ruins.
