Stirling Ranges National Park

Stirling Range National Park,, home to some of Australia's most unique flora and fauna, including over 100 species of birds, more than 1,500 varieties of plants and many dazzling and delicate orchids. Look out for wedge-tail eagles, kangaroos, wallabies and, if you're visiting in spring, 350 species of vivid wildflowers, many unique to the area.

The jagged peaks of the Stirling Range stretch for 65 kilometres from east to west, with Bluff Knoll being the highest peak at 1,095 metres a six-kilometre return climb, thank fully it was raining and misty that day so “someone” couldn’t come up with the idea of going for a walk up a mountain! Instead we drove the 40km scenic drive.

The drive encompasses a circuit that takes you through the western parts of the Stirling Range national park. It is predominantly an unsealed road but in reasonably good condition but being in the mystery bus we had to manuvour all over the road to miss the corrigations in the road.
It provides for a number of stops at scenic locations whether this be lookouts, nature areas, walking trailheads or day use areas.Read more
