Located in
Cape Le Grand National Park, a 3km walk to
the summit up the east slope of Frenchman Peak is rewarded with spectacular
views over the park of the southern coastline and islands in the Recherche Archipelago. A large
cave near
the summit is thought to have formed by wave action and underwater currents during a period some 40 million years ago when sea levels were at least 300m above their current level and the peaks of
Cape Le Grand were largely submerged.The Aboriginal name for the peak is Mandooboornup and it is an important place in local Aboriginal culture.
