Mount Barker
Embraced by two ancient mountain ranges, the Mount Barker Region is a treasure waiting to be discovered. To the east, the Porongurup Range is an ancient escarpment known for its rounded granite domes, rich biodiversity, karri forests and stunning trails. To the north lies the much younger Stirling Range – a popular attraction for the thrill seekers, with Bluff Knoll offering climbers spectacular views and occasional snow during winter and recognised as one of the richest areas for flora in the world. The region is rich in natural, indigenous and colonial history and the land whispers quiet secrets of abundance and beauty. The local people genuinely love for the land on which they live and have many different passions.
