Tourist Information
Click here to view maps of The Great Southern Region and the Mount Barker townsite.
An attractive old style town, Mount Barker lies on three important tourist routes - Albany Highway from Perth to Albany, Muirs Highway linking the South West to the Great Southern through Manjimup and the Mount Barker - Porongurup Road.
 The spectacular spring wildflower season attracts large numbers of tourists, with both self-drive and coach travel being popular. The most popular forms of accommodation are caravan and camping parks and self-catering accommodation such as motels and chalets.
Good road systems provide attractive and well signed access to the south coast, with the spectacular coastline in the Denmark and Albany areas a comfortable half hour trip from the Mount Barker area. A few days stay at Mount Barker with planned daily trips to the many nearby tourists attractions will be a rewarding experience for any traveller.
