Mount Clarence Heritage and Granite Circuit

Starting from Apex Carpark, Mount Clarence, this walk takes you on a circuit in Anzac Heritage Park, visiting a number of memorials along the way. This walk is both historically informative and is stunning, with views of Kings George Sound, Princess Royal Harbour and Stirling Ranges. There are certain places and lookouts along the walk that also allows visitors to enjoy the open views. The walk is suitable for families with children. The path is flat, and there are only gentle hilly sections with stairs. 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.
