BUSY WEEKEND AT THE BLUFF

According to a local tourist operator, visitors to Bluff Knoll over the Easter weekend were waiting up to 2 hours to access the popular site due to the number of tourists keen to make the climb. Many visitors to the region opted instead to tackle Mount Talyuberlup and other climbs as an alternative to waiting.

Margot Byrne from Mount Trio Bush Camp in the Stirling Range said this year also saw lots of hikers climbing other mountains, which they may not have happened in previous years, adding "It couldn't have been a better Easter weekend, we had fantastic weather. (There were) A lot of locals down here and even a few eastern staters".
