As one of its highest peaks, this is one of the few places where snow ever falls in Western Australia. With a 5 and 8 year old, we weren't sure we'd make it, but we made it and by the end there was a real sense of achievement. All up with plenty of lollies and tea stops, it took 5 hours. While there wasn't much to see because of clouds at the top, the view on the way up under the clouds was stunning. Plants and wildlife around the area are very rare and some can only be found in the local area. The first half of the trail up the mountain is mostly simple steps and gravel walkways, but as you get further up, there are more rocky patches with some parts being slippery in the wet. Definitely wear appropriate footwear for rocky terrain and bring plenty of snacks and water.

We had difficulty finding the start, probably because we left the map behind. Best to drive to tree in the rock carpark, walk on the wansbrough walk trail for 1.6kms and then you'll come across the sign for the devil's slide. There is also a shorter trail up from waddys hut but it's very steep & slippery & won't save you any time. Is a difficult climb at times but we all managed, take it slow on the way down as one adult slipped on their bum on the way down. Beautiful Outlook full the top, the kids loved the challenge too.

We travelled to Walga (Walganna) Rock with Jeff, a local aboriginal guide from Barna Tours. For a very reasonable payment Jeff will guide you to the Rock and then provide an educational walking tour (distance to suit the clientele), teaching about the prolific art illustrated on the rock, which is stunning, as well as other geographical features in the surrounding area. All of this is presented from the perspective of the Wajarri people who are the traditional custodians of the land. Jeff has Wajarri heritage and has been given knowledge by Wajarri elders, of the significance of the rock, its ancient art, some of which has been there for 13,000 years and the Dreamtime creations story which is illustrated on the rock.

A 45 minute drive from Tom Price. Fairly easy walk, a little hairy in one section if you don’t like walking on a cliff edge/face. I started my walk just before sunrise which I would recommend as most of the walk up I was walking in shade and seeing the sunlight hit the beautiful surrounding countryside. It was rather windy and could get quite cold up there, if you’re lucky you might see some Rock Wallabies like I did. One of the better walks I have done in WA ????????

Stunning views from the top or even half way up the summit. It is a hard walk and the climb is very steep in some area's of the summit so it is for people that are quite fit. The walk/climb gets very hot and it is very dry, and I would not set out without good walking shoes, sunscreen and water. It does offer amazing views and loads of plant life along the walk.

Great short walk up to Monkey Rock. Small car park area on Lights Beach Road (look for the small brown sign). Short walk up to the rock, and then a bit of a scramble to get to the very top of the rock for the exceptional views. Walk can be done in regular trainers. I’d definitely recommend this, and also going early to beat the crowds. We arrived before 8 and were the only people at the summit.... 3 more people arrived whilst we sat taking in the view. On the way down quite a few groups of people were on their way up.

Had a drive from Exmouth whilst Caravanning and so glad we took the time to do so. The views from a creek bed winding about 9ks into a Canyon was a wonderful start to the day
