Situated in the Great South region of Western Australia, the Stirling Range National Park is home to the craggy, 65km-long Stirling Range, rare Western Australian nature and an astonishing array of seasonal wildflowers. This bushwalking and biodiversity hotspot lies just over an hour's drive northeast of Albany, and visitors can look forward to a variety of wonderful attractions and activities, including viewing the park's renowned wildflowers - over 1000 species! - showcasing rare, colourful orchids, mountain bells and banksias. The park is also home to 148 bird species, including parrots and emus, as well as wallabies, kangaroos and other native mammals. Active travellers can challenge themselves by climbing one of Western Australia's highest peaks, Bluff Knoll - which rises more than a kilometre into the air - or enjoy a rewarding climb at Ellen Peak for panoramic views of the park and the surrounding plains.
