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, Muir Highway linking the South West to the Great Southern through Manjimup and the 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.
