Mount Meharry is the highest natural point in Western Australia, reaching 1,249 metres, and is situated in the Hamersley Range in the Pilbara region.

The summit is visited as the state high point and for wide views across the surrounding iron-rich ranges and plateaus; trips are typically part of broader Pilbara expeditions.

The peak was identified and surveyed in the 20th century as Western Australia’s high point and has since been referenced in state mapping and geographic records.

Geographically it sits within the inland Pilbara of northwestern Western Australia, in a sparsely populated mining and pastoral landscape; the nearest service towns are those serving the Hamersley Range.

• Elevation: Rises to 1,249 metres above sea level, making it the highest natural point in the state of Western Australia.
