**Itinerary:

**

Day 1 - Friday

We’ll depart Perth and travel down to the Great Southern, stopping at Williams
Woolshed for a delicious pizza lunch. After checking in to our accommodation
at the 4 star Hilton Garden Inn Albany, you’ll have some free time to explore
amazing Albany before we head into town for dinner at a local Bistro.

Day 2 - Saturday

Fuel up with a cooked breakfast at a nearby café before we head to Torndirrup
National Park to hike the ruggedly spectacular 12.5km Bald Head Trail. The
trail is made up of a combination of boardwalks, limestone paths, sandy walk
ways and hard granite sections. You will require a relatively good level of
fitness to undertake this trail, despite only being 12.5kms long it will take
us about 5-6hrs to complete. After our hike, we’ll visit the natural beauty of
The Gap and Natural Bridge and watch the fierce waves crash against the rocks
below. Our last stop for today will be the Albany Wind Farm before we head
back to our accommodation to freshen up for dinner at a local restaurant.

Day 3 – Sunday

After checking out of our accommodation, we’ll enjoy another delicious
breakfast then head to the Porongurup National Park to tackle the stunning
Nancy’s Peak & Devil’s Slide Trail. Commonly referred to as “The Porongurups”,
this unique mountain range­ is approximately 12km long and was formed over
1200 million years ago, making it one of the oldest mountain ranges in the
world!

The energy of this ancient mountain range can be felt with your first steps
into the dense karri forest that surrounds the base of the peaks. As you
summit the giant granite peaks you will be left in awe at the stunning views
of farmland across to Albany and the Stirling Range. We'll enjoy lunch on a
mountain today and breathe in that gorgeous fresh air and take in the
spectacular views before we descend back to ground level. After experiencing
the peaks of the Porongurups, we’ll return to ground level and experience some
local wines before we hit the road for our drive back to the big smoke!
