Bluff Knoll is the highest point in the south-west of Western Australia and is situated in the Stirling Range. It is 1,095 m above sea level,[citation needed] and is one of the very few places that snow can be seen in Western Australia, with snow falling usually once a year. The most recent 'heavy' snow was recorded on October 6, 1992 when 20 cm of snow was recorded and light snow was seen down to the car-park (450 m above sea level).[citation needed] Local Aboriginals comprised of the Qaaniyan and Koreng people, who wore kangaroo skin cloaks in cold weather. Their name for the mountain is Pualaar Miial, or "great many-faced hill." The mountain is often shrouded in mist which curl around the peaks and float into the gullies. Local Aboriginals called this "Noatch," an evil spirit of the dead. [1]
Bluff Knoll is visible from Albany, along with Toolbrunup. See also
