Porongurup

The massive ancient granite domes of Porongurup National Park rise 670 metres, giving exhilarating views of the landscape, especially from the Granite Skywalk, a suspended walkway that spirals around the huge granite outcrop of Castle Rock to the summit. The Granite Skywalk has two lookouts, a lower and upper one. The upper lookout perches over the side of Castle Rock and requires scrambling over rocks and climbing a ladder. There are spectacular views of the park and across undulating farmland to Albany on the south coast, with views to Mt Gardner and Mt Manypeaks to the south-east. This remote engineering marvel provides safe access and simulates a rock climbing perspective when suspended on ropes.  It will take 1-3hrs and is 4.4km in length. Access to the walk starts at the Castle Rock picnic area off the Mt Barker – Porongurups Road.

Sculpture prize and exhibition every Easter, held in the parkland behind Karribank Lodge on the Porongurup Road.

There are a number of great walks in the Porongurup National Park including the Granite Skywalk (4km), Wansbrough Walk (8km), Devils Slide (5km), or visit Twin Creeks Reserve for spectacular wildflowers in spring.
