Ancient Mountains of the Great Southern Region

Billion year old mountains and karri forest. Lands rich in unique plants and vibrant wildflowers. Heart-pumping peak hikes. Prehistoric insects and invertebrates. World-class Riesling and family-owned wineries. Breath-taking views. Night skies that are the perfect dark canvas for the stars and planets. Local produce that’s so fresh, you can taste the difference. Vibrant communities with art, history and culture pulsing through their veins.

Nestled between the amazing Southern Ocean, the rich karri forests of Denmark and Pemberton, and the vibrant golden outback, Mountain Country is Western Australia’s best kept secret.

The rugged Stirling Range National Park, the ancient Porongurup, and the vibrant surrounding towns – discover ancient lands and new adventures!
