Porongurup National Park

關於

Porongurup National Park is a national park in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. It covers 26.21 square kilometres (10.12 sq mi), and is 360 kilometres (220 mi) southeast of Perth and 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of Albany.

The park contains the Porongurup Range, which is the relic core of an ancient mountain range formed in the Precambrian over 1200 million years ago. The Porongurup Range forms part of the Southwest Biodiversity Hotspot, which is one of 34 regions in the world noted for a rich diversity of flora and fauna species. The range contains many peaks and hiking trails, with the highest point being Devils Slide at 670 metres (2,200 ft), followed by Nancy's Peak at 644 metres (2,113 ft). Castle Rock (558 metres or 1,831 feet) is capped with the Granite Skywalk, a steel viewing platform that provides panoramic views of the surrounding karri forest.
