Mount Frankland rises above the karri and tingle forest north-east of Walpole. The summit climb is a steep set of steps and a short ladder, and gives you a 360 degree look over the surrounding forest. A separate boardwalk to the Wilderness View lookout is flat and wheelchair-friendly.

Good to know

  • Do the Wilderness View boardwalk if the climb is too much
  • Bring water
  • Check the road is open after heavy rain
