Hike summary

Enjoy magnificent views from the summit of Mount Toolbrunup, the second highest peak in the Stirling Range. A good degree of fitness is required for this four kilometre return hike.

Toolbrunup Peak towers above the other western peaks and offers uninterrupted views in all directions but can only be reached if you are fit and agile and prepared to scramble up some steep rock sections. The trail leaves the Car Park and leads through woodland, mostly following the bank of a creek and becoming progressively steeper. Beyond the woodland it rises steeply over large boulders, loose rocks and steep scree to a saddle near the top of the south-west buttress. From here it’s a short, steep scramble to the top. During spring, those who reach the upper slopes will be rewaRoaded with beautiful mountain bells and southern cross flowers.

Let someone know before you go

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
