Tips

Punurrunha Summit (Mount Bruce) is the second-highest peak in Western Australia, rising to 1,234 metres in the Hamersley Range. The summit is reached via a challenging walk that includes steep rocky sections, loose terrain, and short scrambles, with expansive views over Karijini’s rugged red ranges as a reward for your effort. Despite its prominence, it's less visited than Mount Meharry, making it an ideal location for a more remote and exposed experience.

An honest view over the surrounding land and the nearby mine. Absolutely gorgeous.

Hiking

Mount Bruce is the second highest mountain in WA. It's 10 km there and back, if not particularly difficult. The view from up there is absolutely worth it, as it is one of the most beautiful in the region and offers a great panoramic view of the Hamersley Range.
