Fairly steep and tough going right from the get go. Be prepared for a constant, non stop incline all the way to the top. 2.2km from the Castle rock car park. We’ll worth it!! Spectacular views if you’re brave enough to get up to the skywalk. Highly recommend! Go early and avoid weekends. $15 ticket booth, parking meter style, on arrival.

Has seen images of the sky walk and as we were driving by I decided on the spur of the moment to give it a try. Located on Porongurup Road, about a 25min drive from Mount Barker. It has a large car park with toilets at the base of the walk. As it is located in the Porongurup National Park, there is a park fee of $15/vehicle - there is an unmanned/automated ticket machine near the toilets. In my eagerness to get started I neglected to read all the information at the start of the walk. Firstly there is a Grade 4 walk (2.2km) which is about 1 hr walking up a steep path through the Karri and Marri trees. Then there is a Grade 5 walk (15mins) essentially scrambling up the large granite boulders, using metal handholds, and then a 7 metre enclosed ladder to the actual skywalk. I only read the bit about the sky walk and thought it would be a breeze. If you are going to attempt this then I would suggest you bring decent walking/hiking boots, light weight clothing, bottled water, a jumper/pullover (as it can get cool when you at the top) and a camera. The trek up the hills is relatively steep and there are a lot of slippery, rough and uneven surfaces along the trail - there are however plenty of spots when you can stop, rest and catch your breath. Be prepared when you get to the skywalk to have to wait to climb the boulders, as the is often a queue. The views from the sky walk are 100% worth the climb. The walk back was easier than the walk up but leave yourself a hour to trek back.

We decided a cute little group walk was in order after the party the night before. The walk is not easy and a moderate level of fitness is required. When you get to the top you will need to climb over rocks and then up a ladder, but was the view worth it! Beautiful sunshine, clouds and a wedge tail eagle hanging around. The walk down is lovely at a slower pace Recommend going as early as you can to beat the foot traffic on the paths and the line for the ladder up to the skywalk.
