Mount Noorat

Located just a short drive from the town of Noorat, Mount Noorat offers a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. This extinct volcanic cone, part of the larger volcanic landscape of the Western District, is a great place for a walk, a bit of history, and a dose of fresh country air.

The summit is accessible via a short, well-marked walking track named the Alan Marshall Discovery Trail. The Alan Marshall trail begins on Morack Street just off Glenormiston Road. Visitors enter through a gate to access the track.

Length: 500m to crater view (1km return) on a formed crushed blue stone pathway. The trail continues on a further 500m on a less formed pathway (steep) to the 310m summit of Mount Noorat. Total walk length from the access gate to the peak and return is 2km.
Time: 25 – 30 minutes return to the crater rim or 40 minutes – 1hour return to summit.

Access Information: The formed trail to the crater lookout has a gradient that would make it difficult to access in prams, wheelchairs and for those with limited mobility.
