Castle Rock, Western Australia
Castle Rock is a tourist attraction in the Porongurup Range in the Great Southern region of Western Australia and is renowned for its fauna and flora.
There is a walk trail to the summit which offers 360 degree views, above sea level from a lookout known as the Granite Skywalk. The walk also takes in the unusual 'Balancing Rock', a six-metre-high granite boulder which reportedly weighs around 186 tonnes yet rests on a base just.
A winery located on the eastern slopes of the range is named after this landmark.
Bay whaling was conducted on the coast between 1845 and 1872.
