The Stirling Mountain Range, Australia

The Stirling Range is a spectacular mountain range located in Western Australia, about 300 kilometers southeast of Perth. It's known for its stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and unique geological features. The range is home to the highest peak in the southern part of Western Australia, Bluff Knoll, which rises to 1,099 meters.

The Stirling Range is renowned for its rich biodiversity. There are several plant species found only in this area, such as Stirling Range Wattle (acacia acuminata) with its beautiful yellow flowers, Bluff Knoll Bellflower (wahlenbergia spp) and various eucalyptus species. The range is part of the Stirling Range National Park, which protects this unique environment and provides opportunities for camping, bird watching, and photography.

04/11/2023. Stirling Range, Australia. Bluff Knoll.

January 2023 - Monkey Rock, near Denmark, Western Australia

After exploring William Bay National Park, there was just enough sunlight to sneak in one last hike so we decided to check out Monkey Rock just before sunset.

It wasn't a long nor difficult hike since we were out and back in under an hour and it was super fun playing in the rocks! There was a rope installed to help get up to the rocks and once we were up there the view of the area was beautiful! It was pretty surreal watching the trees sway in the wind.

Afterwards, we jogged back to the car and headed to the motel to check in where we saw some kangaroos right in the backyard! We checked in, dropped off our stuff, and went next to the pub next door for a celebratory dinner and beverages to end the solid day! We did a lot that day - on top of driving several hours, we did our spontaneous hike up to Bluff Knoll, explored William Bay National Park, and finished off with Monkey Rock!

Golden West Australia 2015. Another view across to Bluff Knoll and the main range of the Stirling Ranges. I’m thinking that this pic showcases the Shell  Hakea in the foreground, Hakea cuculata. Quite similar, but not as striking as it’s coastal cousin, the Royal Hakea.

Up at 3:30am to witness the sun shine in all its magical glory from the top of Bluff Knoll in Western Australia. Worth it.

Day 12 - Stirling Ranges - 24 November 2020

We decided to dedicate ourselves to a crazy early start. Rising at the ass crack of dawn (4:30am) we popped down to Bluff Knoll. Discovered however to other people are crazy dedicated and 6 groups were already there and at the top, watching the sunrise.

We did however get to climb the whole thing by ourselves. Not being passed or slowly gain on while going up 580m on steps is a bonus.

An exciting challenge was at the top as the mountain tried to force us off with very strong winds, but we powered through to the peak.

Then came the fun part. Walking downhill while watching other hikers struggle towards us uphill, as we knew that pain was already behind us. Was much easier to enjoy the view too.

Elevation Gain: 575m

Distance 6.2km

Time: 2hrs 13mins

With a 40°C day approaching and extreme fire warnings, we played it safe and took the rest of the day off. Saving the rest of the climbs for tomorrow.

We drove four hours overnight from Perth to hike up the mountain in the misty dark to make sunrise. It was worth it.
