Stage 8:Bluff Knoll to Bluff Knoll carpark
Looking east from Bluff Knoll towards East Bluff plateau, with Giants Cairn visible on its summit and East Peak behind.
A sweeping view looking ENE from East Peak. From left are Isongerup Main Peak, Isongerup South Peak, 1st Arrow, 2nd Arrow, 3rd Arrow, Baker’s Knob, Pyungoorup Peak and Ellen Peak in the background.
Looking ENE from East Peak as the setting sun breaks beneath a heavy layer of cloud, casting warm light across the plains. The successive peaks and rocky features of the Stirling Ridge Walk recede into silhouette towards Pyungoorup Peak in the far distance.

Close to seasonal waterfall if ascending.
What can I say, "Depends if you've come from Ellen Peak or are heading there"
Well formed track with plenty of steps.
