Porongurup Hall

Originally called Art in the Park, the venue has changed over the years; in the past, it was held at Mount Trio Vineyard, the Karri On Bar, in the Porongurup Range National Park by the Castle Rock car park, and finally came to rest aptly at the Porongurup Hall.

This event was initially started by the late Anne Burchell to assist the Friends of the Porongurup Range (Friends) to raise funds to assist the purchase of the 511ha Twin Creeks Conservation Reserve, land located on the agricultural plains between the Porongurup and Stirling Ranges. However, as explained by Friends’ President, Judy McKinnon, at the 2023 presentation, “With the help of extensive fundraising and community support, the Friends’ objective was achieved several years ago. Whilst the reserve now boasts a mixture of protected plant communities, revegetated areas, and regrowth, we no longer need to run this event.” See more on their website www.porongurup.org.au/

Now hosted by the Porongurup Community Association Inc. (PCA), a small but active not-for-profit volunteer group, this event meets its core objective – to foster community spirit and fellowship in the Porongurup.
