Talyuberlup Peak
2.5 km
Return

Walk
2 h to 3 h

Starting from the Talyuberlup Car Park on Stirling Range Drive, Stirling Range National Park, this walk takes you to the summit of Talyuberlup Peak and back via the Talyuberlup Peak Walk Trail. The walk up Talyuberlup Peak starts with a gentle uphill stroll through Talyuberlup mallee and Veronica's wattle. This rather mild incline turns into a steep and slippery scramble in no time. Once at the base of the cliff face, you follow the trail up to a large cave, which goes through the mountain. The track circles around the cave to the west. You'll get to a broad clifftop after passing by the said cave. Keep an eye out for the rocky spires on your way to the summit as well. Spend some time on the summit exploring the area and admiring the views before heading back down the rocky scramble into the valley. Although there is little signage along the way, the path is easy to discern and wooden pegs have been put in place to guide walkers in the more confusing areas. Trekking poles are recommended as the path can be slippery underfoot. The scrambling requires free hands, with some of the rocks being somewhat slippery and requiring a bit of thought to pick the safest route. Walking is not recommended in wet or windy conditions or in extreme heat. Talyuberlup Peak is definitely a very hard walk, best suited for experienced bushwalkers. However, the challenge is entirely worth it, as the rocky terrain of the mountain's peak makes this a walk of truly rugged beauty. If you are up for an adventure in the Stirling Ranges, then this is truly one of the best.

Mount Hassell

Mount Hassell
2.9 km
Return

Walk
1 h 30 min to 3 h

Starting from the Mount Hassell car park off Stirling Range Drive, Stirling Range National Park, this walk takes you to the summit of Mount Hassell and back. Prepare for an amazing range of colours in the wildflower season. The track to the summit has steps that begin moderate, leaving their place for steep scree sections later on. Many rocky platforms are located on or near the trail, where walkers can take a break and enjoy the views. As you come closer to a ridge, the track gets steeper. You'll then cross a saddle through some thick bush. The final scramble up the small section of rock that forms the summit is easier than it looks from below, though extra care should be taken when the rocks are wet and slippery. After negotiating the rock face, walkers are rewarded with a close-up view of Toolbrunup and sweeping views of the remainder of the national park. The trail is well marked and easy to navigate, with some steep climbs and moderately difficult scrambling. Wear sturdy footwear and weatherproof clothing, and carry plenty of drinking water. There may be sudden temperature changes that can lead to rain or even hail, so come prepared. The upper parts of this track should not be walked under bad weather conditions. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Mount Toolbrunup

Mount Toolbrunup
3.9 km
Return

Walk
2 h 30 min to 4 h

Starting from the car park at the end of Toolbrunup Road, Stirling Range National Park, this walk leads to the summit of Mount Toolbrunup and back via the Toolbrunup Peak Walk Trail. Toolbrunup Peak may not be the tallest peak in the Sterling Range (by only 50 metres), but it's quite the sight and demands mental & physical effort from you. Rising from the landscape at 1052m above sea level, Mount Toolbrunup presents a tough challenge for those that decide to hike up to the summit. This 4km return hike begins by taking you through quaint woodlands, mostly following the bank of a creek and becoming progressively steeper. Beyond the woodlands, the hike rises steeply over large boulders, loose rocks and steep scree to a saddle near the top of the southwest buttress. Look out for the yellow-capped markers placed among the rocks to ensure you are following the correct route. The terrain in the last part is relatively more complex, introducing some vertical rock climbs. When you reach the upper slopes, keep a lookout for mountain bells and other flowers that bloom in the spring. At the summit, you will be rewarded with extraordinary 360-degree views across the landscape, where you'll be able to see all the other major peaks in the area, along with the Porongurups to the south. This is one of the most challenging day walks in the Stirling Range as it requires constant climbing. When you reach the summit, you'll be more than 500 metres above the starting point. Although it's quite short, this hike is best suited for fit and experienced walkers, as there are some very steep sections and uneven surfaces, including scree fields and loose rocks. Keep in mind that the weather can change super quick in the Sterling Range. Take extra care when dealing with the strong winds near and at the summit, as you'll be exposed to them. Hiking boots or sturdy shoes, weatherproof clothing and sun protection are recommended. At the car park, you will find a small picnic area and information boards about the hike.

Mount Magog
5.8 km
Return

Walk
3 h to 4 h

Starting from the car park off Stirling Range Drive, Stirling Range National Park, this walk takes you to the summit of Mount Magog and back via the Mount Magog Walk Trail. One of the lesser-known hikes in the Stirling Range, Mount Magog is a challenging climb to 856 metres. This summit gives off an uncharted feel as it is not climbed frequently. The walk starts at a picnic site nestled amongst tall wandoo trees. From here, the trail crosses a creek, then emerges from the trees and meanders across open country along the flat lowlands of the range, with only gentle climbing. Once the trail reaches the base of the peak, the climb is steep and tough. For those willing to push on, this will be an unforgettable experience. The reward for the climbing becomes apparent fairly early on, with excellent views of the peaks to the west. Eventually, the trail leads to a saddle between the summit and the neighbouring Talyuberlup. From here it's a more gentle walk, with some scrambling up rocky shelves to reach the top of Mount Magog's south peak. The trail to the summit is fairly easy to follow, with wooden peg markers and flagging tape to point hikers in the right direction. This is a very hard walk in steep and potentially dangerous terrain known for its unpredictable weather. You'll need to keep an eye out for scree and uneven footing. For your safety, keep to the path and be mindful about foot placement. The trail may be overgrown, and the final section requires some rock scrambling. This walk isn't recommended in wet or windy conditions, as the rock scrambling sections can be very slippery. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
