Balancing act on a very difficult site!

No Micah... not to the village; let's go to Castle Rock! That's our travelling home in the background.
Time to reflect on this ancient landscape after a 570 metre climb. Karri and Marri forests lie below Castle Rock in the Porongurup Ranges and, in the distance, the Stirling Ranges rise from the plains. The Aboriginal name for the Stirling Ranges is apparently Koi-Kyenunu-ruff meaning 'mist moving around the mountains' and Bluff Knoll (Bular Mial) is sacred and home to a powerful ancestral being.The Porongurups are around 1000 million years old and the granite domes were formed from a massive bubble of molten rock that rose from deep in the earth's core and pushed upwards. Weathering sculpts the exposed rocks into rounded shapes and valleys.
Kaleidoscope of colour as the sun sets behind the Porongurups.
