Overview
About Mount Meharry
Why stop
- A broad 360-degree view across the surrounding ranges.
Heads up
- Remote access and a steep, exposed climb take real effort.
Mount Meharry is a remote summit in Karijini’s southeastern sector, rising to 1,249 metres—the highest mountain in Western Australia. This is a deliberate, demanding side trip for people who want the state’s high point, not a quick stop between gorge walks.
Parkwolf’s verdictA summit worth the effortMap
Where it is
The highest, rockiest slopes around here are a summer buffet for grizzly bears.

Route descriptions call this a remote, unmarked outing with a rough approach and a steep, rocky final walk. It suits experienced off-road drivers and strong walkers. Confirm the current public route and any required access permission before setting out; the available route details don’t settle that question.

The summit’s payoff is a broad 360-degree view over the Hamersley Range and ochre Pilbara country. A stone cairn and survey marker mark the high point. For a photo, include both with a strip of ridgeline; that gives the open view a clear sense of place.
