This Granite peak called 'Gibralter' is typical of the many similar peaks at the Poronurups...
Joey and Sam are standing at the base of 'The Tree in the Rock' which is literally a 50+m Karri Tree growing from a granite rock base. Amazing!!
Leaving the Stirling Range NP we headed back towards Albany and had a snack at another smaller NP called 'The Poronurups' this park features Granite peaks rising from Karri forest areas...
Near the top this is a typical view one can expect to see. Pretty cool and worth the effort...
The hard yards started when the Durnin's attempted to scale the Bluff Knoll. Some magnificent views along the way!! The rocky summit is behind us at this point...
About 88km North of Albany are the Stirling Ranges. The National Park of the same name is frequented by travellers to Albany mainly to see Bluff Knoll, at 1095m the highest peak in southern WA (about 3rd in the state). This area is one of the few in WA that receives snow in winter on a regular basis. Beautiful ranges, quite different to the regular flat surrounds...
We stayed at Kalgan River Caravan Park outside Albany, a lovely tranquil setting beside the Kalgan River. There are Ducks and Kangaroos every where and they are friendly critters - when they want a piece of bread anyway!! Here Joey is feeding some locals!!
