Description

We will hike from Sullivan Rock to Mt Vincent through lush Jarrah and Banksia forest and then out on to giant granite slopes to enjoy the sunset and amazing views from the peak.

Here we’ll enjoy a delicious gourmet spread of antipasto goodness as we watch the sky transform from daylight to dusk to darkness.

Arriving back at Sullivan Rock, Astronomer Jacob Einam will take us on a magical journey of the night sky. Using an amazing green laser pointer, he will point out constellations, planets and share the wonders of the universe. Then you will have a chance to view it all through a large telescope. This will be a breath-taking and special starry night to remember!

Total hike distance is 5kms, the terrain is quite uneven with a steep ascent/descent so sturdy shoes with good grip are a must, the trail is achievable for most people.
