Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Wes topped to undertake this walk whilst travelling from Stirling Ranges to Albany. It is easily achieved within 2-3 hours and so worth doing.
It start with a beautiful walk through forested landscapes and as you reach the summit, granite outcrops become the predominant feature. Metal platforms and climbing ladders have been installed to provide access to some spectacular views.

Not for the faint hearted. Quite a long uphill walk to reach the peak with huge panorama views. Wear good walking shoes and take your time. I had a walking stick which helped.

It's very much a bucket list place to visit when in WA but be prepared it isn't quite as easy as you are led to believe. The weather was sunny and warm when we arrived at the car park (for which unusually there is a fee). There are toilets available at the car park and considering it is a long climb are worth using before you start 😂. So the climb is about 2.5k and is nearly all uphill so not for the faint hearted. It is reasonably shaded which on a day like the one we did it was really welcoming. Once you reach the top you have 2 options - a lower level viewing platform or a scramble to the top of the granite sky walk. We decided as we had got this far to tackle the sky walk. At the start of the scramble you have a series of metal rings in the rocks which you use to pull yourself up to the foot of the vertical metal ladder which takes you to the top of the walk. Again the ladder climb is not for people with any form of fear of heights it is caged but completely vertical. And then you reach the top which is so worth it that the bits that have gone before simply fade away. Thankfully you then have a wonderful downhill walk back to the car park to recover.

This is definitely a Grade 4 walk. 2.2km uphill. Some dirt pathway and some rock stairs. As a 65 year old I found the walk up quite difficult, however somebody younger and fitter may not find it as hard. I personally didn’t go to the actual skywalk due to height issues but enjoyed the view from the lower platform while hubby went up higher. My thought is that the view was not quite as good as I imagined. Would I do it again? - No, but if you’re in the area and fit maybe just do it.

We decided a cute little group walk was in order after the party the night before.
The walk is not easy and a moderate level of fitness is required. When you get to the top you will need to climb over rocks and then up a ladder, but was the view worth it! Beautiful sunshine, clouds and a wedge tail eagle hanging around.
The walk down is lovely at a slower pace
Recommend going as early as you can to beat the foot traffic on the paths and the line for the ladder up to the skywalk.

Has seen images of the sky walk and as we were driving by I decided on the spur of the moment to give it a try. Located on Porongurup Road, about a 25min drive from Mount Barker. It has a large car park with toilets at the base of the walk. As it is located in the Porongurup National Park, there is a park fee of $15/vehicle - there is an unmanned/automated ticket machine near the toilets.
In my eagerness to get started I neglected to read all the information at the start of the walk. Firstly there is a Grade 4 walk (2.2km) which is about 1 hr walking up a steep path through the Karri and Marri trees. Then there is a Grade 5 walk (15mins) essentially scrambling up the large granite boulders, using metal handholds, and then a 7 metre enclosed ladder to the actual skywalk.
I only read the bit about the sky walk and thought it would be a breeze. If you are going to attempt this then I would suggest you bring decent walking/hiking boots, light weight clothing, bottled water, a jumper/pullover (as it can get cool when you at the top) and a camera.
The trek up the hills is relatively steep and there are a lot of slippery, rough and uneven surfaces along the trail - there are however plenty of spots when you can stop, rest and catch your breath.
Be prepared when you get to the skywalk to have to wait to climb the boulders, as the is often a queue. The views from the sky walk are 100% worth the climb.
The walk back was easier than the walk up but leave yourself a hour to trek back.

Fairly steep and tough going right from the get go. Be prepared for a constant, non stop incline all the way to the top. 2.2km from the Castle rock car park.
We’ll worth it!! Spectacular views if you’re brave enough to get up to the skywalk. Highly recommend! Go early and avoid weekends. $15 ticket booth, parking meter style, on arrival.

This was definitely a challenge but well worth it once we finally make it to the top. We needed to put on jumpers once reached higher ground…got quite chilly. 4 of us and we drank about 1L of water between us, mainly on way up. 2A Mr16 & Miss7 (About 18 degree day in spring). We made numerous quick stops to rest & have a breather. Climb up is easy for some, tricker for others. Tricky for me but did manage it with some help from Mr16. There is a lookout for those who do not wish to climb to the higher one (Views are beautiful). Miss7 decided she wasn't climbing to the top but FYI I sure quite a few young children climb it with their parents assistance. Definitely worth the aching body the next day :) There are toilets @ the entry. When we came down there was no toilet paper left. (About 3.30pm)

Fun walk! Classed as a grade 5 walk. The first 2km up to Balancing Rock is simple, a series of steps, nothing technical.
The final few metres up to the Granite Sky Walk - you need to scramble over rocks BUT there are metal handles which makes it a lot easier.

Even on an overcast and drizzly day this was amazing. The walk up is fairly steep - more than I expected, but the views up the top are worth it. There is a lookout for viewing to the side when you get to the skywalk - but if you want to go up onto of the rocks it's definitely worth doing. Some rock scrambling with handholds and then a 7mt ladder is required. The views were wonderful even though it was very windy and drizzly when we got to the top of this hike (the bottom was dry, only overcast). So glad I got to do this one, was awesome.

Is it about a 4.5km return walk or 6km one way (I saw on a website they mention 6km but not if it is one way or return)?
Thank you
Skrevet 8. april 2022
It’s about 2km one way. So, yes 4km return. There were lots of kids and families walking , so you shouldn’t have any issues. Treat it as a leisurely walk and you’ll be fine.
