West Australia’s high peak, Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges national park, could see snow fall for the first time this year.

As Perth receives a cold front and unrelenting rain, temperatures at the peak are expected to drop to as low as three degrees celsius.

West Australians are rushing to the area to see the rare event, snow outside of an eastern state. The Great Southern Area is one of the few places in the state where snow has historically fallen.
