Kalgan River

Reviewed By j0n1g - Perth, Australia

The Kalgan river is teaming with wildlife! Big ospreys birds nests as they dive for fish, lots of black bream, mulloway, black cockatoos and kangeroos! Luke Pens trail is great for hikers and there’s plenty of bends in the river for picnics or reading a book. Huge trees!!!! Nice clean water so swimming is recommended. Upper and lower bridges great for fishing or find a small beach to drop a line in

Stony Hill & Peak Head

Reviewed By MandyMum2014 - Perth Hills, Australia

Hang on to your hats and let the cobwebs be blown away as you ascend this amazing outcrop of granite stone. The climb is well worth the view from the top and if you are really game then embrace the gale-force winds, mount the round rock which sits on the top of the landscape, stand on one leg, reach for the skies with arms raised high and see how long you can last before you get blown off the top! It was an exhilarating experience on my birthday and at 59, it proved impressive to my family who didn't think it possible that Nana could stand on one leg, let alone on a boulder high on a cliff-side on a wild and windy day! Yay - Go the oldies! We can do it!
