Torridon Publications.
The two guide books to the Stirling Range were published in 1996. Since then, many changes have been made to the management of the National Park resulting in more areas being closed off. Nevertheless, the books still contain much useful information on walks in the Stirling Range and updates and details of the changes can be found within the pages of this website.
Over the next few years I plan to publish books on the Blackwood River and on some forest walks in the South West.
Mountain Walks in the Stirling Range - Part 2 is now out of print
The eastern peaks book has now sold out, though copies may still be available at some of the Perth Shops and at the Stirling Range Retreat. Part 1, the western peaks, is still available.
More information on bushwalking in the South West of Western Australia Take a look at The Walks for information on some of the best bushwalking areas in the south west and on the more popular walks.
For the latest information about the Stirling Range and updates to the mountain walks, follow the links to the Stirling Range . The changes to the approach to Ellen's Peak from Glenelg will be of particular interest to Stirling Ridge Walkers.
Getting your bushwalking expedition off the ground
The Gear takes a look at what you'll need to get started. It contains checklists and a calculator to help decide what to take on those backpacking adventures. A review of trekking poles is the first of a series of articles on some of the equipment now available to bushwalkers.
