Drive 29 kilometres north of Walpole through farming area and National Park to Mount Frankland in the Walpole Wilderness.
Climb to the peak of this imposing granite monadnock for a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape, or enjoy the walk trail around the base. The trail starts at the car park and winds its way around for 1.5 km finishing at the base of the summit walk. The 1 km summit walk doesn’t take long to complete but a reasonable level of fitness is required due to the steepness of the climb. The panorama of vast forests and wetlands of the Walpole Wilderness Area stretching as far as the eye can see in all directions is worth the effort.
Set in Mt Frankland National Park, the trails are great places for birdwatching. Click here to check out all of the types of birds you are likely to find.
A shelter, toilet, water and barbecue facilities are also available.
