Shady old-growth River Red Gums are a feature.

A natural basin used by drovers from the early 1900’s for holding cattle.

A cross section of rock is exposed, revealing the five evolutionary periods of the park and providing visual evidence of how the surrounding landscape was formed.

This pretty dam was once the water supply for the Shannon Mill and town. A great spot for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, cycling and bush walking.

The Congelin Siding Walk follows the old Pinjarra to Narrogin railway line, which was constructed in 1925 and known as the Hotham Valley Branch (Dwarda line). 

Contine Hill features a picnic area and lookout with spectacular views across a wide, sweeping landscape of forested hills and farmland.

The wide sweep of beach is bounded at both ends by huge granite boulders, formed at the same time as the granites of the Porongurup Range, 79km to the north.

Temple Gorge is the hub for accessing the eastern side of the range.

The raised viewing area, a short walk from the carpark, has a good view of the battlement-like face of the range. Sunrise is a particularly good time to experience the view.
