East Mount Barren

Directions - Access is via Ravensthorpe-Hopetoun Rd to the turnoff for Hamersley Drive that will take you into the park. Hamersley Drive is paved all the way past West Beach and the car park for East Mount Barren is on the right hand side of the road.

The Hike - With one Barren already in the collection I was excited to complete the set (at least the ones you are allowed to climb) and after driving into the eastern end of the park over Culham Inlet and seeing East Mount Barren in all of its magnificence, my eagerness grew. My plan was to hike this one nearer to sunset to allow for better photographs and I'm really glad I waited. We set up camp at Four Mile Beach and headed for a swim at Barrens Beach where, as I mentioned in my Sepulcralis Hill write-up, it allowed me to make peace with the last Barren before jumping into the hike (plus it was just a little bit relaxing in the warm sun).
