Beedelup Falls

Scenic spot
Nature & Parks
Series of rocky waterfalls set in forest, reached by a trail, with views from a suspension bridge.
Beedelup Falls is an incredible adventure for anyone who loves the outdoors! The walking trails take you through dense, towering forests, across suspension bridges, and right up close to the stunning waterfall. Every turn reveals another breathtaking view, it's like stepping into a hidden world. The trails are easy enough for most fitness levels but still give you that exciting feeling of exploring untouched nature. Breathing in the fresh forest air and hearing the water rushing over the rocks was pure magic. If you’re looking for a scenic, energizing escape, Beedelup Falls is the perfect place to explore!
Ben M — Google review
Great walk to see the falls. We went via the swing bridge. Kind of funny trying to walk on it. Especially when trying to take photos. Well worth it. Also quite a walk up up up to see the Walk Through Tree. It was worth it. Did have a tree that had fallen over the track that needed to be climbed over. Hopefully it will be removed soon.

We visited Beedelup Falls in late winter, the waterfall was spectacular with a strong, powerful flow. The surrounding greenery was lush and peaceful, and the accessible path made it easy for prams and wheelchairs to enjoy the view. A truly serene spot to connect with nature!
Sholeh S — Google review
Beedelup Falls is a stunning escape into nature’s serenity 🌿. The cascading waterfalls, lush karri forest, and suspension bridge views make every step magical. Easy trails, rich birdlife, and peaceful vibes, perfect for a refreshing walk or scenic photo stop!
Matt P — Google review
Took a walk or should that be hike from the RAC Karri Valley around the lake to falls. There is a local car park if you don’t fancy a walk. The walk was pretty easy going although some occasional boulders under foot. Crossing the swinging bridge you get to experience the falls and following the path to the top gives you a great view. Best seen after a decent amount of rainfall.

Lovely place to walk with excellent facilities including suspension bridge and well maintained walkways. Very pleasant experience
Lucy M — Google review
Falls are lovely but not exceptional however the loop walk included a swing bridge which was an enjoyable surprise.
Angelika M — Google review
Well worth the walk to Beedelup Falls, the suspension bridge was fun and the Falls were definitely worth the walk, spent about an hour following the stainless and wooden walkways

What a delight to visit this store! ‘Higgelty piggelty’ - with little sections to visit in everywhere, outdoors and in. Starting with the beautiful garden with camellia flowers leading down to the whimsical gingerbread house. Ducks roaming the gardens just add to the charm of this beauty. Inside - so many gorgeous items I’ve not seen in many (any) other stores- a very large Christmas deco section (in July!), jewellery, garden items, kitchen items. Too much to list! Ladies working were charming and friendly - telling us about the history of the store and who it was named after. So glad we stopped by!

Who doesn’t love a lolly shop - especially one that sells our sought after scotch tablet! (Thankyou!) Love the decorative colourful tree upon entry. All your favourite lollies/candys plus some, in addition to Dr Pepper in the fridge.

My husband and I always stop in whenever we are in the area. The range is always amazing and the prices are great. The staff are incredibly friendly and know their candy and give great recommendations. We are so glad that the new location is turning out really well with a short walk to the playground. Loving the new colour scheme.

I have been visiting this shop, whenever I pass through Bridgetown, for over 10 years. You can always find something in this shop that will transport you back to your childhood. Such an extensive selection of sweets, chocolates and lollies from all over the world. Service is also outstanding from owners Rochelle & Damien. Can't wait to return to this hidden gem on our next visit to Bridgetown.

It's a place that will put a smile on your face and trust me, you will have a hard time choosing what and how many to buy 🤪 I also found a few candies that you can't find at Woolies or Coles.

Big Brook Dam Foreshore & Picnic Area

Nature & Parks
Dams
Beaches
If you are after a good workout and like challenging off road bike rides maybe take the rainbow trail from Pemberton to the Big Brook Dam. The trail starts from Pump hill road on the western side of the creek on the eastern side of the road. Look for the small yellow triangle trail marks with the rainbow serpent logo. It’s about 5.2 km and it took us at least 1 hour on our e-bikes, but we had to push our bikes up most of the steep hilly sections. It was worth it, the bush is beautiful tiger snakes included, and the lovley smooth asphalt path circumnavigating the dam is very nice. There is even a white sand beach with refreshing mountain stream swimming 🥶

Nice scenery here. You can have a walk around the lake and also go to have a close look at the dam and walk across it. There is a small beach area for you to have a swim. Looks safe for kids. There are also some picnic benches around the grassed area. There is a public toilet here. But beware that it does not seem to have shower facilities.

Stunning area, photos can’t show off how tall and grand the trees look. It’s a dirt track in but very well maintained and 2wd will have no issues. Area has plenty of paved parking along with a bonus of toilets and many picnic tables.

Scenic Railroads
The Pemberton Tramway Company offers a nostalgic journey through the deep forests and picturesque countryside of Western Australia. The tourist railway recreates the history of timber railways, using paid and voluntary staff to operate diesel hydraulic trams along a 10km route. Visitors can also experience climbing the Gloucester Tree, a towering karri tree in Gloucester National Park, for breathtaking views of the surrounding forest.
Hubby and I visited the Pemberton tramway during our stay down south and did the tour into the forest. Our tram driver Peter was professional and friendly and gave an informative and engaging commentary on the way to the cascades. We loved seeing the forest and cascades and had such an enjoyable time overall. We highly recommended this experience to anyone passing through town.

Fabulous! A truly immersive experience for all ages and interests. Journey on the historic tram to the Cascades waterfalls, explore for a while then journey back. Bravo to the team who operate and maintain these historic tram. Gift shop has many treasures- bring a gold coin to donate for tea/coffee. Blankets provided to keep knees warm. Loved this experience

One of the highlights of Pemberton is the tram ride. A really quaint and beautiful ride for both myself and my woofy. The entire journey was so friendly and warm and the tram drivers were just the best! Thank you for a truly memorable experience! A must do for anyone visiting the area and a great way to support the local community.

A lovely historic trip on a tram into the Karri Forrest stopping at the Cascades water feature. Our driver was very passionate about the tram and the local history. Told us all his stories and more. We booked in advance as it is pretty popular departing from the old station. It’s not a fast journey but allows you plenty of time to immerse yourself in the trees and the history. The Cascades after all the recent rain were a sight to behold.

A nice trip to the Cascade with couple of bridge crossings with natural environment. Loco pilot explains about the history of the Pemberton tramway and its surroundings. An epic journey to the water streams surrounded by nature. Really worth it!!

⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Pemberton Tramway was such a lovely experience! The ride takes you through the stunning Karri forest with plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. The highlight was definitely stopping at the cascades, the sound of the running water and the peaceful atmosphere made it unforgettable. The commentary along the way was informative too, giving insight into the history of the area. A great activity for all ages!

Gloucester Tree

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Observation Decks & Towers
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Gloucester Tree, located in the Gloucester National Park of Western Australia, is a towering karri tree standing at 53 meters high. As the world's second-tallest fire-lookout tree, it offers visitors the thrilling opportunity to climb up to a platform nestled within its upper branches and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding karri forest canopy. Although climbing may be challenging for some due to its height and spiral ladder-like pegs, those who conquer it are rewarded with an unforgettable experience.
It is a lovely place to walk around even though cannot climb the tree. It is no longer safe to climb anymore if you talked to the park ranger instead of making judgment by self. There is a national park fee required. If you have the annual national park pass, then you are good to go like us. We got lots of information from the lady from the entrance.
MeeLian R — Google review
Beautiful spot just out of Pemberton, easy to access just a short drive from town. You can't climb Gloucester Tree anymore but still worth checking out
Shelby N — Google review
The Gloucester Tree is a fascinating place to visit and a big part of WA’s history. I came here early in 2021 when it was still open for climbing — trying to going up that tall karri tree was an unforgettable and slightly nerve-wracking experience! By mid-2023 it was under maintenance when I came to visit, and now it’s no longer safe to climb. Still, walking around the area is still impressive, surrounded by tall karri trees that make the forest feel so peaceful and majestic. Even without the climb, it’s a great spot to stop, take a walk, and soak in the natural beauty. *photos from 2021

Great place / zipline Park is fantastic. Friendly people. We walked to the Gloucester Tree after our lunch at Chefingo's @The Forest Lodge Resort. It's only 1 k walk through the Forest Aboritum. We enjoyed the place and had great food at Chefingo's.

I went there on a Saturday morning and decided to go up at a slow pace and stop as I needed. It was really good experience and really nice views from the top. It gets windy up there but doesn't feel unsafe at all from the platform. I recommend proper shoes to feel comfy all the way.
Maud C — Google review
So much fun, if you are alright with heights then your going to be able to climb the tree and see the view from up on the platform. If heights are not your thing there are plenty of lovely walk trails and a spot to have a BBQ.
Bryce T — Google review
Do it, the youngsters climb the 52 metres to the platform really quick. It took me a while longer and it was worth it. Great view, and when you consider this was an actual look out tower, this is a bit of modern Australian history. Note: sturdy footware recommended.
Jason W — Google review
The Gloucester Tree is a 53 metre tree near the town of Pemberton, WA. It is located within a national park and can be climbed. The cost of admission is the regular national park entry fee. There is NO HARNESS and only a bit of wire "mesh" to keep you from falling so it can definitely be a dangerous adventure. However, nobody has ever died from a fall there and the views from the top are absolutely spectacular. The climb is NOT recommended for children/any unfit person, however, anybody is welcome to give it a go. The climb is strenuous and very steep and is near vertical for a good chunk of the ascent. If you aren't totally freaked out by heights, give this a go because it's an incredible experience!

Our visit to Understory Art and Nature Trail was an absolute delight! As a family with a curious 2-year-old daughter, we were thrilled by the interactive art pieces scattered throughout the trail. Each exhibit seemed to spark her imagination, and watching her engage with the artwork was truly heartwarming. The trail itself was well-maintained and provided a perfect blend of nature and creativity. We highly recommend this trail to families looking for a unique and enriching outdoor experience!

My dog and I really enjoyed this nature trail. It was fun, looking around to spot the artwork that was both hidden, and in plain sight, along the trail. The faces in the trees are wonderful, as are all the installations, and all credit goes to the artists who contributed to the trail. Great job!

If youre going past Northcliffe, certainly DONT give this one a miss!! You really must stop by for this restorative trail on your travels! What a beautiful and interesting nature walk! Instead of looking ahead as you do on regular trails, this art trail had us searching the ground, in the trees and more! What a beautiful tourist attraction in a beautiful little town! Highly recommended and will visit again! Great little gallery and gift store at the entrance, with a cute little Cafe almost ready to open for visitors! Can't wait to return once the new additions are in!

I will be honest, I was not expecting to like this as much as I did. Some really interesting pieces of work. It was $45 for a 30 bush walk for the family (2 adults and 3 kids). Seemed a little pricey initially but felt worth it by the end.

We really enjoyed walking through the art and nature trail even though it was drizzling rain. If anything, it added to the experience. Very clever idea and well worth a visit.
Kim B — Google review
Have driven through the area many times yet never knew this was here. So delighted to eventually discover it July 2022. There was a $10 per adult entry fee to do the 1.2km walk via the Visitor's Centre, but well worth the price. So many creations to encounter, all with more or less something to engage the imagination. The walk took us about 45 minutes. Most of the pieces show some level of decay from being in the bush (some since 2006), but that's part of what makes this type of art "alive". Apparently you can do the walk with an audio track to listen to. Maybe that's something we'll have to go back for.
Colin N — Google review
This place is so interesting and full with beautiful art that compliments life in the forest. The walk is easy and you are provided with a map with all art pieces and nature facts, as well as a collection of soft music and a podcast about the walk which is cool!

Good place to stop for lunch, picnic tables and quite a sizeable undercover area with a BBQ and toilet. It's a 6.5km drive in and out, the dirt road was fairly pot holed in places.

Absolutely amazing! Beautiful in the dry; incredible in the wet season! A massive volume of water was flowing when we were there. The unpaved road isn't in the best of condition. The actual waterfall and pool area is very way to access, with great walkways. The boardwalks can be a bit slippery. There are some steps. Very much worth stopping here when driving past!!

Good simple camp with old but clean long drop toilets. There is a 1 small hut, otherwise all other camps are standard, but look like they have recently been made flat. Perfect for swags, tents, roof top camping. Some spots would be good for groups, otherwise the camp spots are tucked into the bush. Most spots with fire rings and we had a small pile of firewood and a bin provided.

Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Sights & Landmarks
National park
Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk is a family-friendly nature attraction featuring guided walks, educational programs, and a discovery center. The 600m-long ramp provides access high into the canopy of giant tingle trees, reaching up to 40m above the ground. The gentle incline makes it easily walkable and accessible by assisted wheelchair.
After a busy day at work, I decided to finish up a bit early to take a drive for a walk among nature. I’d seen signage for the Valley of the Giants and thought it would be a lovely way to finish the day. The drive is pretty easy, a couple of sharp turns along the winding road but once you arrive there is plenty of parking. The entrance, and the Tree Top Walk itself, is flat so is suitable for prams and wheelchairs. The Tree Top Walk is about 600m long and is on a really gentle gradient. So whether you’re as fit as a fiddle or a bit of a slow walker, it’s suitable for all. After each short walk, there is a junction point of a couple of metres diameter where you can rest or go past anyone who is a bit slower than you are. I was there at the end of the day, in winter, so pretty much had the whole Tree Top Walk to myself 😊 You don’t need to worry about heights as the highest point is only 40 metres above ground and be aware there is a little bit of movement in the platforms as you walk, but you are completely safe. Just make sure you hold on to your phone or camera, wouldn’t want to drop it! The view from the walk is beautiful. Listening to the sounds of nature and looking up at the trees which are at least another 10 metres above you is so relaxing. Make sure you take some time to also appreciate how they constructed the wealk. Very minimal damage to the bush and it kinda blends in….well at least it’s not an eyesore. 😉 Once you’ve done the loop of the Tree Top Walk, there is a ground level Ancient Empire walk where you are walking among, and sometimes through, the trees. Nearly all of this 650m walk is accessible for all abilities and it’s really pretty. There are signs along the way and some great photo ops too. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

An attraction that shouldn’t be missed! Felt mesmerized walking along the Tree Top Walk. You can really feel how natural and preserved the place has been kept. The beautiful trees make are picture-worthy. Definitely worth the experience.
Christian — Google review
The Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk is truly one of the iconic experiences in Western Australia and absolutely worth a visit if you’re in the Albany, Walpole, or Denmark region. We stopped here on our way back from Albany, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. The treetop walkway takes you high up into the canopy of the famous tingle trees, giving you a completely different perspective of the forest. The views are breathtaking, and it feels like walking among giants hence the name! The walkway is very safe and stable, so even if you’re a little nervous with heights, it’s still very manageable and well worth it. This is also a wonderful place for families. Our kids absolutely loved it, especially discovering the two fairy doors hidden along the way little touches that spark curiosity and imagination. On the ground level, the Ancient Empire walk is equally fascinating, taking you past enormous trunks and hollowed trees that have stood for centuries. If you time your visit well, I highly recommend staying for the sunset. Watching the forest glow with golden light from up in the treetops is a magical experience we’ll never forget. There’s also a visitor centre with a gift shop and friendly staff who are more than happy to share local knowledge about the trees and the region. Parking is easy, and the site is well-maintained, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk is a must visit attraction in the South West whether you’re a couple, a family with kids, or a solo traveller. It’s both educational and awe inspiring, and it makes you appreciate just how special and unique Western Australia’s forests really are.

Saw this place on a TV show and thought us live to go there. Thankfully it lived up to the billing. Reasonable entrance fee tgat gives you access to two walks, one of which is through the tree canopy on a well contrcted framework of bridges and platforms. The other walk is through the forest with lots of information boards along the way. We were 4 adults and three children all under 10. All of us really enjoyed it. The gift shop at the entrance had plenty of reasonably priced merchandise too. Would visit again if I am lucky to be in the area
Phillip H — Google review
A dreamy place for a walk in the woods. We recommend the free guided tour. The path through the ancient empire is especially interesting for children, as there are dwarf doors to discover in some of the tree trunks. The treetop walkway is breathtaking. Those who are afraid of heights should be aware that the bridges sway a bit. In return, you'll enjoy fantastic views from 40 meters above the ground.

We visited on a public holiday during school holidays and it did get busy by late morning there was no long waits for tickets. (You can pre purchase. Concession available.) I would recommend going at a quieter time to soak in the beautiful surrounds. Highly recommended. Especially so if you love birding. Great views of birds including many rosellas and Gilbert’s honeyeaters. Also enjoyed the free walk at the end: ‘Ancient Empire.’

Lovely walk through an ancient forest. I preferred the walk at ground level vantage point, but the tree top walk was certainly beautiful too. We came first thing in the morning and it became busy very quickly! Go early to avoid crowds.

We recently had the chance to experience the Valley of the Giants Treetop Walk, and it was truly unforgettable. This place is a real standout for anyone who loves nature. As we climbed to a height of 40 meters, we felt completely surrounded by the ancient 400-year-old gum trees, their towering gnarled branches stretching majestically towards the sky and sometimes crossing our path so slightly. From the moment we stepped onto the walkway, the fresh scent of eucalyptus filled the air, reminding us of the vibrant ecosystem all around, and we could hear the soothing sounds of the forest—the rustling leaves and distant bird calls. The walkway gently sways beneath your feet, so if you’re not a fan of heights, it might give you vertigo, but it’s all part of the experience! Walking among the treetops, we were captivated by the stunning views. The lush canopy with its vibrant mix of native greens and the pops of color from the wildflowers peeking through on the forest floor. Each step offered a new perspective, and we couldn’t resist putting a short video together to capture the breathtaking scenes and serenity of this forest. After our adventure above the trees, we took a peaceful stroll through the Ancient Empire Walk below. This serene path winds through a grove of ancient tingle trees, creating an almost magical atmosphere. It was the perfect spot to pause, reflect, and appreciate the incredible history of these giants that have stood for centuries. The Valley of the Giants Treetop Walk is more than just an attraction; it’s a celebration of nature. The well-kept pathways and friendly staff made the experience even more enjoyable. Without a doubt, this was one of the highlights of our trip through the South West, and we can’t recommend it enough. If you get the chance, don’t miss the opportunity to walk among these giants—your spirit will thank you!

Denmark Dinosaur World

Such a lovely place for us as dinosaur, reptile, and bird lovers! Beautifully unique, and the owner is clearly passionate about his work. You get to hold and pet some of gorgeous birds and a lovely little snake, and there are two rescue kangaroos that you can feed. A really sweet stop on our way to Denmark.
Amelia — Google review
Family of 5 - 2 adults, 3 kids aged 12, 4 and 2. So much more than just dinosaurs! We had the best day today, hanging out with the most beautiful birds, kangaroos, snakes and of course the dinosaurs 🦜🦘🐍🦖 When we arrived, we had the place to ourselves and the man who build and owned this amazing place, Bill, gave us so much information about dinosaurs, the amazing birds and the reptiles. Not only were the robotic dinosaurs and replica dinosaur skeletons absolutely amazing, but we were able to hold and interact with birds every colour of the rainbow, feed and pat two gorgeous kangaroos and we got to have a private meet and greet with 3 of the tamest, friendliest mini python snakes - which is what our 4 year old loved the most! What a great day 🙌🏻

We had a great time at dinosaur world. The kids loved the dinosaurs, reptiles and wild life. For entry we got to see all the animals, hold some reptiles and birds and feed some kangaroos. Even on a rainy day we were leant some umbrellas so we didn't miss out.
Angela R — Google review
Nice place. Have done a lot of effort to manage it. Bill was kind n smiley. Ample parking. Dinosaur caricatures, snakes n lizards, kangaroos, n plenty of parrots. One can hold n pet the reptiles. Must see for kids. Small souvenir shop. Moderate fee/charges.
Dani B — Google review
The owner was super nice and let me hold a baby snake! Many of the birds are out of their cages and free to roam which is amazing for visitors and the birds themselves. Snakes were also really cool and surprisingly active and you can even feed a couple kangaroos! Very much worth a visit especially if you're already here to see the tree top walk, can't recommend it enough!
John D — Google review
Saw the sign while driving from Denmark and decided to go and have a look - best decision! Such a unique and interesting place. Dinosaur figures + skeletones and interesting alive snakes. Favourites were a lot of different birds that are freely roaming around and say some phrases and are super friendly. Some fly/climb on you and want cuddles. Also two kangaroos that we got to feed and pet. The owner of this place is such a cool person who tells you different stories and showed us a young python that we got to hold! Overall a very welcoming and great place for both kids and adults. So glad we saw the sign and decided to visit!

2 adults. 1.5 hours. We had a lovely time here. Arrived at 10:00 before anyone else. There are lots of different types of parrots. Some of the parrots are free to roam around and are friendly. The owner was great, very informative, friendly and inviting, thank you for making it such a nice visit. He kept the parrots safe and showed us that they use their mouths/beaks to find out about the world. We also fed the kangaroos, these were very gentle with soft fur. The lizards and snakes were informative, nothing to be afraid of. The dinosaur animatronics were fun.
Geoff K — Google review
We first visited in 2018 and they have expanded their dinosaur display which the grand children loved. There were more aviaries outside with beautiful birds most of whom can't be released. There were snakes and bobtails that children/adults could hold plus an information session. Others snakes were able to be viewed in a safe environment.

This was our second visit here and both times has been great. All the animals are gorgeous and well cared for and the grounds are clean and tidy. The young lady at the front desk was very welcoming and chatty which was lovely. I loved being able to hold the joey and pet the kangaroos, alpacas, goats, sheep and mini cows. My kids especially loved the Guinea pigs and rabbits despite them being a bit timid. We will definitely be back again next time!
Alisha B — Google review
Denmark Animal Farm & Pentland Alpaca Stud is hands down one of the best farm experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment we arrived, it was pure joy !! baby Highland cows (yes, you can actually go into the pen for cuddles!), wallabies, camels, fluffy chickens, and even guinea pigs you can sit with. Every corner of the farm has something exciting and interactive, and the animals are so well cared for and friendly. The highlight for me was being able to get up close with the baby cows and feed so many of the animals, it felt so special and memorable. The farm shop is also worth a visit, full of beautiful alpaca products that make the perfect keepsake or gift. If you’re in Denmark or passing through, this place is an absolute must-stop. Fun, interactive, and heartwarming !! I’d give it a 10/10 without hesitation!

Elephant Rocks

Nature & Parks
Geologic Formations
Elephant Rocks, a natural formation located around 20 minutes from Denmark town, is a popular swimming spot and protected cove. It boasts impressive rock formations that resemble a herd of elephants and offers a stunning beach. The area is perfect for wandering and exploring the little nooks and crannies of the crevasse. The water is clear, making it an ideal location for snorkeling. Visitors are reminded to respect the ocean and keep the area clean by taking their rubbish with them upon leaving.
Absolutely stunning spot! The water is crystal clear with amazing shades of green and blue, and there’s a small hidden beach that’s great for a swim or just relaxing. Easy walk from the car park and not too crowded when we went. A must-visit if you’re in the Denmark or Albany area. Great for photos, picnics, and just soaking in the natural beauty.
Paulo — Google review
We recently visited Elephant Rocks, a breathtaking destination that captivates the senses and leaves a lasting impression. As you approach, the sight of enormous granite boulders, resembling a majestic herd of elephants reaching for the turquoise sea, is nothing short of mesmerizing. The contrast of the vibrant blue water against the rugged boulders creates a stunning backdrop that beckons you to explore further. The atmosphere here is serene, inviting you to simply sit and soak in the beauty around you. We found ourselves wishing for warmer weather, imagining how refreshing a swim would be in those crystal-clear waters. The gentle sound of waves lapping against the rocks adds to the tranquility, making it an ideal spot for reflection or a leisurely picnic. Whether you're hiking along the scenic trails, climbing the boulders for a better view, or just enjoying a moment of peace, Elephant Rocks offers an experience that feels both special and alive. It’s a place where time seems to stand still, urging you to linger just a little longer. If you find yourself in the area, don’t miss the chance to witness this natural wonder—it’s a place that will stay with you long after you leave.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely stunning place! 🐘 The massive granite rocks really do look like a group of elephants gathered by the water, such a unique sight. The turquoise water and smooth boulders make it perfect for photos, relaxing, or just soaking up the beauty of nature. The short walk from the car park is easy, and there’s a lookout point that gives you an amazing view from above. It can get a bit busy during peak times, but it’s worth every minute. A must-visit spot in Denmark, WA!

A great place to call in for lunch en route back to Perth town. A grand building in a lovely setting in the middle of Mt Barker. There is a small lunchtime menu and we shared a medium and a large. The menu did say that the large came with garlic bread. Ours never materialised. Maybe next time.

This is a winery situated along the Albany Highway in Mt. Barker. This was the first winery and cellar door in the region back in 1975. Today you'll find a cellar door and cafe open from 10am to 4pm daily if interested in a bit of wine and food tasting while in the area. We recently passed by near closing time to grab a bottle of the Three Lion Riesling to enjoy back at our apartment rental in Albany. On the whole, it was pretty good, light, a bit crispy with floral and citrusy notes, a good wine to enjoy with seafood. Overall, nice environs, would make for a enjoyable place to try a bit of tasting next time around.
Brad — Google review
Lovely cellar door! High quality interior with a rich history from the surrounding area - it's lovely to know where all the materials are from. Great complimentary wine tasting (which these days are becoming rare), including wines from their premium range.

Shelley beach was my favourite, altho waves were a bit violent and lots of sand blasting while laying on the beach. Don't need a 4wd for Shelley beach but for many other bays you do. 4wd tracks are great here, but be prepared, slightly soft and boggy in places but no issue if you're prepared.

West Cape Howe is absolutely stunning—raw coastline, steep cliffs, and a remote feel, yet it’s only about 40 minutes from Albany. Shelley Beach is a quiet, beautiful spot for a swim or picnic, with amazing views and even hang-gliders overhead. The nearby wind farm adds to the scenery, and Albany makes a great base to explore the area with its charm, history, and great coastal access.

We came back after two years for the same season, between xmas and new years. It's great because you don't need booking and it's a wonderfull hidden corner. This time though, the camp host was nowhere to be seen, so campers went unleashed and placed tents (8pax) on dunes and big families rocking up blocking cars at the parking bay. It wasn't a very pleasant experience, but I guess you have to come down on a more quiet period. Still I think that the place lacks of proper camping policies/etiquette, even when there is no one to supervise especially in such a small camping ground. Please remember to be respectful with nature and rest of campers, carry your rubbish back with you and NEVER BLOCK CARS IN A CAR PARK, especially in areas of difficult access.

Porongurup National Park

National park
Nature & Parks
Parks
Ancient granite domes laced with paths & nature trails, plus picnic areas & a viewing platform.
The Porongurup National Park is situated around 50 km north of Albany and makes for a fun day of hiking through mature Karri tree forests and up mountain sides dotted with huge ancient granite boulders. Entry is AUD$17 per standard vehicle or with a Park Pass. We visited two sections on the NP on the same day, starting early at the Castle Rock section in the east. From the Castle Rock carpark, there is a popular and fairly easy trail leading up to the Granite SkyWalk platform. Some impressive Karri trees on this trail, a unique Balancing Rock and then the skywalk platform which is free to access for panoramic views of the forests below and landscapes in the distance. We then made way to the western side of the NP later in the morning and completed the Devil's Slide trail from The Tree In The Rock carpark. This was a challenging yet very rewarding hike with stunning views easily rivalling those at Granite SkyWalk. Liked the look of the Nancy's Peak trail as well and would aim to tackle this one next time around. These trails require more time, fitness, proper walking shoes and are more exposed to the elements. After completing our morning hikes, we stopped by a couple of the wineries that had open Cellar Doors back on Castle Rock Road to pick up a couple bottles of wine to enjoy at our apartment rental back in Albany. This completed a very rewarding day out hiking in Porongurup NP, a great day trip option for those staying in Albany or within convenient driving range of the Park.

This is a winery and cellar door along Porongurup Road in the national park area that is open for wine tastings from 11am to 5pm (Thursdays to Sundays). We made a stop here after hiking in the national park and before making way back to Albany and enjoyed trying a couple of their rieslings and late harvest wine along with very good almond & orange and sticky date slices, perfect for an afternoon wine and dessert stop. Purchased a bottle of their Riesling to take back and enjoy at our apartment rental in Albany. Slightly crispy and fruity with a bit of sweetness to balance out the wine, this was a very enjoyable Riesling, one we would gladly return to purchase additional bottles next time we are able to visit the area.

We arrived after our hike and were warmly welcomed despite not having a booking. We had a delightful experience here. We sampled several wines and were particularly fond of the savion blanch.

To be honest I expected more wind turbines but they are huge and an interesting visit. A nice walk around the farm, take water with you. Nice lookout over to Albany town from the top lookout

Granite Skywalk, Castle Rock

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Nature & Parks
Hiking Trails
The Granite Skywalk is a popular attraction located on top of Castle Rock, accessible via a challenging 2km hike and rock scramble. The walkway offers breathtaking panoramic views and is situated at an altitude of 670m. The path can be difficult at times, with narrow granite steps that can become slippery after rain. However, the stunning vistas from the top make it all worth it.
This place is incredibly beautiful! I didn’t do enough research before visiting the Granite Skywalk — I thought it was just another easy lookout you could reach by walking a few metres. Turns out, it’s a serious hike! The trail was much steeper than I expected, and I literally had to climb over big rocks to reach the summit. It was a tough but rewarding climb. When I finally made it to the top, the view was absolutely breathtaking. The platform is built around a massive rock, and from there, you get nearly a 180-degree panoramic view of the Porongurup National Park. It’s truly an unforgettable spot. I’m glad I did it, but next time I visit, I’ll definitely come more prepared for the hike!

Granite Skywalk – Castle Rock, Porongurup National Park We recently visited the Granite Skywalk at Castle Rock and it was absolutely worth it! The hike itself was enjoyable, with beautiful bushland and plenty of spots to take a breather along the way. The final climb to the skywalk was a bit challenging, but once you reach the top the views are just incredible – honestly one of the best I’ve ever seen in WA. The lookout gives you a full panoramic view over the Porongurup Range, Stirling Ranges, and beyond. If you’re in the Albany or Denmark region, this is definitely a must-do. A bit of effort to get up there, but the reward at the top is next level. Highly recommended!

The structure is good, there are toilets, barbecue areas, picnic tables, and plenty of carpark spaces. The trail is well built and marked, and offers an enjoyable hiking experience. At the end of the trail, there is a more accessible lookout. But for those looking for an extra challenge, there is another option as well. We saw kids and elderly people doing both. Just carry enough water, use trail shoes, a hat, and sunscreen… The final view is amazing and totally worth your effort. My husband and I are not the most fitness couple and we came back to our car in a little less than 2 hours. We paid $17 to access the park, but if you have plans to visit the natural bridge and the gap it will add an extra $17. So, our recommendation is to choose the weekly permit, because it costs $30.

We visited the Granite Skywalk, and the climb was quite easy for me as I’m younger — it’s about a 2.2 km ascent. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, and you must bring a water bottle with you! Along the way, you’ll see the famous Balancing Rock, and shortly after, the trail enters a boulder field. From there, you climb into an outcrop and onto the viewing walkway, which includes a fun ladder climb. The views from the top are breathtaking, with sweeping panoramic scenery. The trail itself is beautiful, passing by massive fallen trees — one of which has a section cut out so you can walk right through it. A really neat, all-round experience and absolutely worth doing if you’re planning on a bit of hiking in Porongurup National Park.

Pretty easy climb. Lots of kangaroos at the start. Do have to scramble up some rocks to get to the top but they have holds so it's pretty easy. Definitely recommend. Beautiful views
N — Google review
A good walk up the hill before getting there was well worth the effort. The view is extraordinary from the platforms. If you don't like heights, don't look down. Requires a bit of rock scrambling to get to the top platform, but achieveable by anyone who could climb a ladder.

$17 for car day pass, pay at the electronic kiosk. Make a day of it as there are a few picnic tables as well as toilets. Didn't count them, but would be 1500+ steps. Don't let that put you off. A trek and a half up the level 4, 2k hike to the top. If you're a bit adventurous and a little nimble, the clamber over rocks and up the final ladder at the summit, rewards with views second to none. Just on an hour to the top at a leisurely pace and 35 mins back down, with around and hour at the summit. There is still a lower viewing platform should you not attempt the last 150m section. Make sure you secure your hats before going up top. Better perhaps if a couple of you could assist each other as needed. I rate the views with those from Ubirr in the NT's Kakadu. Take your time and even in winter take water, but please bring your bottles back. I would not advise for wheelchairs. There was plenty of parking, including areas for long vehicles and caravans. Had to head back as we were running out of light.

Desert Mounted Corps Memorial

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
Perched atop Mount Clarence, the Desert Mounted Corps Memorial pays homage to the soldiers who departed from Albany to fight in World War I. The monument stands as a tribute to those who fought at Gallipoli and offers a significant historical backdrop. Visitors can access the site by vehicle or stairs and explore the small forest of Lone Pine seedlings nearby. While parking is limited at the top, it's worth visiting for its historical significance and participation in Albany's annual Anzac Dawn Service.
Such an impactful way to remember the sacrifice so many men and women made to ensure we enjoy the liberties we have today! The quotes on the signboards as you ascend the stairs to the monument provide context for the experience at the time. The effort required to reach the monument (our small sacrifice) helps focus one's thoughts on the larger recognition intended.

Desert Mounted Corps Memorial – Albany, WA A very moving and beautifully maintained memorial overlooking Albany. The statue and plaques give a deep sense of history, and the views from the top are absolutely stunning, with a full panorama of the town and coastline. It’s a peaceful spot to reflect and appreciate the sacrifices made, while also enjoying one of the best lookouts in Albany. Well worth the visit – both for the history and the scenery.

Whoever designed this site did a really good job. The long walk up to the monument is impressive and the views are quite spectacular. Quite captivating which is tremendous respect for what it represents. We actually came during night time, some ambient light but also twilight hours add a lot of character.

A lovely memorial to visit while in Albany within the Heritage Centre. Very well designed, beautifully kept, great views from the viewing platform behind the monument of the stunning scenery. A must visit while there to honour the brave soldiers and their mounts who fought in the wars
Lesley-Jane W — Google review
This is a large scale monument located at the end of Apex Drive at Mt. Clarence in the Albany Heritage Park. There is a car park at the bottom of a long set of steps that take visitors up to the Memorial. What you find is a bronze replica originally erected at Port Said, Egypt. The replica was created and erected here in 1964 as part of an overall testimony to ANZAC found throughout the Albany Heritage Park. What you see are two bronze soldiers and horses in action, likely representing Australia and New Zealand brothers in arms during WWI action (1916-18). The bronze are atop a rectangular shaped pillar. There is open space around with views of the King George Sound, marina and other areas around Albany as well.

Middleton Beach is a suburb situated along the coast of Albany, Western Australia, and is positioned about 4 kilometres away from the city centre. The Noongar peoples, who are the traditional owners of this land, refer to Middleton Beach as Binalup - a term which means "place of first light". This name has been given due to the fact that the sun rises over the waters in this location during dawn.

War museum
Museums
The National Anzac Centre, opened in late 2014 to mark Albany's Anzac centenary commemorations, is a modern museum dedicated to honoring the Australian and New Zealand soldiers of World War I. The center features interactive exhibits and multimedia installations that provide a realistic and immersive experience. Situated overlooking the expansive body of water from which the troop ships departed, the museum offers compelling presentations that include individual stories alongside descriptions of larger war scenarios.
This is the second time I have visited the National Anzac Centre and it was just as good as I remembered. The centre is very interesting and informative and the grounds have a lot of history. If you get the chance to hear one of the volunteers outside talk about the history of the grounds, definitely listen in. Take the time to not only explore the centre, but also the buildings and grounds outside.

A mind-blowing extraordinary emotional experience. So many audio story's, interactive boards. Beautiful restored heritage buildings. Boardwalks and displays to meander thru. A must visit for everyone. Wear good shoes, and make sure camera has a full battery. Not a quick visit stop. A good half day min.

A beautiful museum with amazing interactive exhibits dedicated to the WWI Anzacs. It's pearched high above Albany overlooking the harbour in King George Sound and in a magnificent park setting. It's a 30 minute mostly uphill walk from the town centre but there is plenty of on site car parking available. Definitely worth a visit
Adam G — Google review
Both outside in the grounds walking around and inside in the monument fills you with a sense of emotional in that it is impossible to think what the young individuals thought they were about to face in World War One. The journey inside that you take as one of those individuals is very well thought through with the various installations and displays added to by the views out into the bay where the convoy ships gathered before setting off. Definitely an Albany highlight that must be seen.

Really nice set up and some really moving stories to listen to. They have done an amazing job with putting it together. Spent longer then anticipated but thoroughly enjoyed the experience. You get a card with a soldiers story that you learn along your path and an audio guide to hear different stories of those who were out there. Great experience

1,099-m. peak in Stirling Range National Park featuring a popular hike with dramatic views.
Some of the best views I’ve ever seen. But, it was not an easy climb and the peak was extremely chilly. Also make sure to bring lots of water. Would recommend if you like hiking and want a challenge.

Lovely walk and amazing views from the summit. It took us 4 hours return with our kids who are 9 and 11 years old that was with lots of stops! The track was quite busy due to being school holidays when we visited. There are toilets in the carpark and make sure you carry water with you. Great family day out.

Moderate hike, the walking trail is really nice. Will not lose your way. The only thing is plan when the weather is clear and no chance of rain otherwise the view will not be nice. And if you go on rainy or cloudy day, the whole charm is lost. We hiked mid October and the view was so nice with wild flowers blooming. Would recommend to hike like 4am if it’s in peak summer. We took 2 hrs up and 2 hrs down and it was really slow hike. We spent lots of time clicking on the way.

Watching sunrise from the **Bluff Knoll** summit is a deeply moving experience — the climb just before first light rewards you with sweeping views as the sky shifts from inky darkness to soft pastels, with clouds and mist often rolling over the Stirling Range ridges like waves. The cool air, the stillness, the low sun gently touching rocks and vegetation — it feels almost otherworldly. It’s a challenging hike (about 6 km return, with steep sections and variable conditions) so there’s real satisfaction when the golden hues finally break and you catch that moment where the land beneath you is awash with light. Even though you’ll likely be cold, maybe a bit tired, the view — fields, peaks, and valleys glowing in dawn’s glow — makes it completely worth it.

Spoiler alert; lots of hikes clips attached. I have yet to find a more scenic hike in WA. The path is fairly well maintained. It is a 3hr round trip hike. No bathroom facility up top. Bring water and raincoat. The weather can change suddenly here. The flora along the path is unique. It changes from moderate forest to alpine scrubbs at the top. If you are lucky there are wild emus in the vicinity. I spotted their droppings only. At the top it is going to be windy. The day I went it was covered in rain cloud with zero visibility. There is no shelter from the rain so come prepared. I did a day trip from Perth but I think this is better combined with Albany sightseeing.

Such a beautiful place to hike. If you want to see sun rise, be sure to set your alarm to wake up early, i set mine at 3:30am. Make sure you bring torches with you. Wear extra layer of clothing or jacket. Make sure you bring coffee with you. You would like to enjoy coffee when you reach the top. Some path can be dangerous if being silly. Other than that, gear up and enjoy the spectacular view of bluff knoll.

Incredible beach, was one of the best beaches I have come across in Australia. The colour is a bit dull in the morning, but a full sun brings the turquoise out like there is no tomorrow. As of 21/03/2025 there are works going on the road to the beach, so have to park at the visitor center and walk 2.5km each way. It says 4 hour return, but I'd say 2 hour return for a reasonable adult, also there are giant biting march fly around the beach that can spoil the experience a bit. Go early to have the beach for yourself 🔥

Entrance fee $17, because this place is part of the National Park. You can walk/climb some rocks to access the beach on the right side. There is also a pathway on the left side, with a type of salty lagoon on it.
