Bluff Knoll Abseiling

At a massive 280 metres, Bluff Knoll is simply the ultimate weekend abseilling experience! This is where West Australian abseiling culminates, with a 280-metre multi-pitch descent! Two days in the south west of Western Australia participating in a challenging activity that is totally different to the normal abseiling experience. Bluff Knoll overlooks the Stirling Ranges and surrounding farmland, affording magnificent views in all directions. One of the unique experiences this activity offers is gazing down on the majestic Wedge Tail Eagles as they soar under you. Once you're on the cliff face, they often fly within 10-15 metres to take a closer look. Bring your camera - you won't get many opportunities like this!
