Description:
The Stirling Range is 80 kilometres (49miles) north of Albany within south-western Australia, the rugged peaks of the Stirling Range abruptly rise from a surrounding landscape of lowlands, most of which has been cleared for agriculture. The range stretches east-west for more than 65 kilometres (40miles) and is characterised by stark cliff faces, magnificent views and abundant, vibrantly coloured flowering plants. No matter what time of year you arrive, there will always be some plants in bloom. The range is also home to the highest peak in the southern half of Western Australia – the 1,095-metre (3592.52ft) Bluff Knoll. Stirling Range National Park is 4.5 hours drive south of Perth or 30 minutes drive north of Albany. Albany is a 1 hour flight south of Perth.
