Castle Rock, Granite summit in Porongurup National Park, Australia.

Castle Rock reaches 670 meters above sea level, offering a steep trail through forests of jarrah, marri, and karri trees in Western Australia.

The rock formation, previously named Alfred's Castle, commemorated Alfred Meadows Gillam who established transport routes in Western Australia during the 19th century.

The granite formations within Porongurup National Park hold significance for Indigenous Australian communities who utilized the area for traditional practices.

The Castle Rock Trail spans 4.7 kilometers return, requiring sturdy footwear and water supplies for a challenging hike rated as Class 5 extreme.

The Granite Skywalk features a suspended walkway and viewing platform, accessed by climbing a 6-meter ladder near the summit of Castle Rock.
