This is where West Australian abseiling culminates, with a 250-metre multi-pitch descent! Two days in the south west of Western Australia participating in a challenging activity that's totally different to the normal abseiling experience!

The Bluff overlooks the Stirling Ranges and surrounding farmland, affording magnificent views in all directions. One of the unique experiences this activity offers is gazing down on the majestic A photo of the team at Bluff Knoll.Wedge Tail Eagles as they soar under you!
