Porongurup National Park Centenary
2026 marks the centenary of Porongurup National Park, and we’d love you to celebrate with us.
Visit our Centenary page to explore upcoming events, exhibitions, presentations, and activities commemorating this significant milestone in the history of the Porongurup Range.
The Porongurup Range
The Porongurup Range. Imposing granite domes formed over 1,200 million years ago rise dramatically from the plains and feature an outlier of the iconic karri forests. The unique ecosystem is recognised as a biodiversity hotspot, with over 700 species of flora, 300 macrofungi, and 15 lichen species.
The Porongurup Friends are proud to support the preservation and conservation of the Porongurup Range and demonstrate our concern when incompatible use is considered.
Twin Creeks Conservation Reserve
Twin Creeks is one of the few remaining protected bush properties in this agricultural region and is part of the Oyster Harbour Catchment Group/Ranges Link Project. The Friends of the Porongurup Range purchased the 511ha farming property in 2003 to conserve and enhance the bush on it, aid in creating a wildlife corridor from the Porongurup Range to the Stirling Range National Park, and act as an open classroom for education.
Twin Creeks is open to the public for flora walks, birdwatching and photo opportunities. Take a walk along the trails and enjoy a picnic at the BBQ area.
