Attractions

Enjoy impressive views of the entire Porongurup Range on a 23km scenic drive.

The Karri boya-k (Tree in the Rock) picnic area sits within the karri trees. Some say it reminds them of a cathedral, with the towering karris providing a domed roof.

Castle Rock picnic area is more than just the starting point for walkers wanting to experience the Granite Skywalk, it's also a great spot for a picnic. 

The Granite Skywalk is a suspended walkway on the huge granite outcrop of Castle Rock.
