Welcome to Porongurup
The Porongurup Range is one of the oldest in the world having been formed about 1,180 million years ago. The granite from which Porongurup Range is formed has been exposed by the slow weathering of the softer rocks surrounding the range. Although only 12km long and 670m at its highest point, the range is renowned for its beauty. It is clothed in a luxuriant forest of giant Karri trees and the understorey puts on a brilliant display of wildflowers during Spring and early Summer. Nature lovers will find much to see and do in our National Park and our community-owned Twin Creeks Conservation Reserve. Why not take up the challenge of identifying over 700 species of flowering plants and 78 species of birds, from majestic, soaring wedgetail eagles to the electric blue splendid fairy wrens.
For those who would prefer other pursuits, we have many small, family owned wineries where you can meet the people who grow the grapes, most of whom would be delighted to allow you to walk those vineyards, set in spectacular mountain scenery, with picnic areas provided. A wide range of accommodation caters to just about any taste and budget and is complemented by vineyard cafés, tearooms, Thai café and a relaxed local bar.
Porongurup is in a central location, with the Stirling Range a short drive north and the historic port city of Albany to the south.
We hope your stay will be a happy one.
