We stopped in Porongurup on our way to Albany and we were so glad we did - the Porongurup National Park is a gem and we loved the Castle Rock hike up to the Granite Skywalk and the Balancing Rock. The Granite Skywalk is reached by a lovely walk through the karri forest to some good scrambling over rocks and a steep climb on a ladder to reach the series of glass projections built out over the rocks. What a view! Porongurup is also known as a wine region (albeit a small one) so what with 'roos next to our campsite, great hiking, gorgeous views and a visit to a vineyard for a tasting after our hike, what's not to love?
