Bluff knoll overlooks the Stirling Ranges and surrounding farmland, affording magnificent views in all directions.
We depart from Perth on Friday afternoon at 5:30pm. On Saturday, we abseiling Castle Rock in the Porongurups. We introduce all the techniques and safety skills necessary for multi-pitch descents. On Sunday, you'll abseil the north west side of Bluff Knoll (250m), finishing approx 3.00pm. We then return you to Perth by approx 9.00pm.
