There’s never been a better time to visit and explore Albany, with major upgrades valued at $11 million recently completed across Torndirrup National Park’s main attractions.
Project updates
Torndirrup National Park, home to viewing platforms at The Gap and Natural Bridge, attracted more than 609,000 visits last financial year, up nearly 20 per cent since 2021.
Completed works ready in time for a bumper 2025 summer season include:
- an extra 76 car parking bays, nine long-vehicle bays and five accessible bays at The Gap, Bald Head, Misery Beach and Stony Hill
- new picnic facilities and interpretation panels at Bald Head, Misery Beach and Stony Hill
- track surface upgrades along the length of the 13-kilometre Bald Head Trail, including minor realignments
- new accessible toilet facilities at Bald Head to cater to hikers and day visitors to the site
- new visitor facilities at Misery Beach, including a viewing deck and seating for views over King George Sound, and staircase access to the beach via a link path from the car park
- an upgraded 500-metre walk trail loop at Stony Hill and a new 72-metre all-access concrete walkway for 360-degree views over the park and ocean.
