Ancient granite peaks and karri forest in Western Australia's Great Southern

Porongurup National Park

Porongurup National Park is a protected area in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, approximately 360 kilometers southeast of Perth and 40 kilometers north of Albany. The park encompasses the Porongurup Range, a remarkable ancient mountain system formed over 1.2 billion years ago during the Precambrian era, making it one of the oldest mountain ranges on Earth. The range comprises dramatic granite peaks that rise abruptly from the surrounding plains, with the highest summit Devils Slide reaching 670 meters above sea level. The park is part of the Southwest Australia Biodiversity Hotspot, one of 34 globally recognized regions of exceptional plant and animal diversity. Its karri forest ecosystem represents a significant outlier, existing hundreds of kilometers east of the species' typical southwest distribution. The landscape creates unique microclimates on its peaks, supporting vegetation communities that differ substantially from the surrounding agricultural lowlands.
