웨스턴 오스트레일리아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Bald Head Trail의 마지막 지점인 이 둥근 화강암 봉우리는 남극해 위에 완전히 노출되어 있습니다. 정상에서는 해안선을 가로지르는 탁 트인 전망을 감상할 수 있으며, 양쪽으로는 가파른 절벽이 깎아져 있습니다. 접근로는 헐벗은 바위와 낮은 초목을 가로지르며, 일부 구간에서는 발판이 고르지 않습니다. 이곳에는 대피소가 없으므로 바람이 강할 수 있으며 기상 조건이 빠르게 변할 수 있습니다. 돌아가기 전에 시간을 내어 경치를 감상할 가치가 있습니다.

Granite Skywalk is a suspended steel lookout built around the granite summit of Castle Rock in Porongurup National Park. The platform extends around the rock to provide sweeping views across the Porongurup Range and surrounding farmland, with distant views toward the Stirling Range on clear days. It is reached via the Castle Rock Trail, with the final section involving a short climb over large granite boulders and a ladder to the lookout.

Balancing Rock is a fantastic granite formation along the Castle Rock Trail. The large boulder seems to rest precariously on a narrow base, creating one of the most photographed features on the walk. It sits near the final climb to the Granite Skywalk and is a popular rest and viewing spot for walkers.

At approximately one 1,099 meters above sea level, Bluff Knoll is the highest peak in southern Western Australia. The summit is often cooler and windier than the plains below, with cloud cover and even occasional frost in winter. From the top, expansive views stretch across the Stirling Range and surrounding farmland. Weather can change quickly, so carry an extra layer. Stay on the marked summit area to protect fragile alpine vegetation.

Stirling Range National Park protects one of Western Australia’s most rugged mountain landscapes, known for its dramatic peaks and rich biodiversity. The park is home to Bluff Knoll, the highest summit in southern Western Australia, and is especially popular during wildflower season. A vehicle entry fee of $8 applies per car (up to twelve occupants). You can pay by card when you get to the park entrance or purchase the annual permit online. Weather conditions can change quickly at higher elevations, and temperatures at the summit are often much cooler than surrounding lowlands. Stay on formed tracks and carry sufficient water.

It's most beautiful during the blue hour of photography when the sun makes the window shine orange-red from the west.

The Gloucester Tree was originally one of 8 fire lookout trees built in the south west. Foresters would climb these trees to the lookouts at the top to scan the area for signs of fires. Until 2023, it was possible to climb the tree but was currently closed as the platforms are being upgraded.
