Porongurup National Park

The Porongurup National Park contains granite formations over 1,400 million years old, rising to 670 meters and extending across 12 kilometers of landscape.

The park was established as a protected area in September 1925, following decades of timber harvesting that began in the 1880s and ended with lease withdrawals.

The Mineng and Koreng peoples of the Noongar community name this area Borrongup, which translates to totem in their traditional language.

Visitors need to purchase entry passes, carry water supplies, and wear appropriate footwear when exploring the various hiking trails throughout the park.

The park hosts 700 native plant species, including nine plants found nowhere else, plus 71 bird species such as Baudin's black cockatoo.
