Castle Rock is a tourist attraction in the Porongurup Range in the Great Southern region of Western Australia and is renowned for its fauna and flora.
There is a walk trail to the summit which offers 360 degree views, 570 metres (1,870 ft) above sea level from a lookout known as the Granite Skywalk. The walk also takes in the unusual 'Balancing Rock', a 6-metre-high (20 ft) granite boulder which reportedly weighs around 186 tonnes (410 thousand pounds) yet rests on a base just 1.21 square metres (13.02 sq ft).
A winery located on the eastern slopes of the range is named after this landmark.
