Mount Brown

Starting from Mount Brown Lookout Car Park, Henderson, this track takes you to the lookout atop Mount Brown and back. As you ascend to the summit, a breathtaking panorama unfolds before you, offering unrivalled 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape. You may view Lake Mount Brown and Cockburn Sound from here. Immerse yourself in nature's splendour as vibrant wildflowers adorn the landscape in spring, while the autumn brings the firewood banksia. Let us begin by acknowledging the Whadjuk people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
