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, 570 metres (1,870 ft) above sea level. 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 1.21 square metres (13.02 sq ft).
