Porongurup National Park - Mount Barker

Beautiful hike and landscape. Clean toilets and many picnic tables and even a barbecue on the floor.

Great walk, all uphill, but that makes the return easier, the Scramble is fun and must be able to move

I love the Porongurups! I came here in 1957 as a little child and knew that it felt special. That was 64 years ago. I have lived in our accommodation called Thorns Mountain Retreats in the last 20 years. Every day I kiss the floor and say thank you for being able to live in this amazing place and share it with others. There are magic in the forest, rocks and peaks. It's a place to be free! We are right next to the national park, so it means that our guests only walk 50 meters and then hike and climb to many of the summits from here. Pretty special. Look at us! Here are some pictures of our property and some secret places nearby.

Lovely trail, the uphill and mud made is challenging but still doable for most hikers.

Fantastic place well worth the effort the reward is outstanding
