check out humans and whales use
the warm ocean current as a super
highway for their annual migration.

Situated nine kilometres from the
township of Augusta is the Cape
Leeuwin Lighthouse.
It is the tallest lighthouse on
mainland Australia. The 116-yearold lighthouse sits on the tip of a
spectacular peninsula where the
Indian and Southern Oceans meet.
Surrounded by green rolling
hills, rocky coastal outcrops and
wildflowers, it also boasts a café
– great for a tea break or lunch.
Visitors can tour this working
lighthouse that guards one of the
world’s most dangerous shipping
lanes.
Be sure to set some time aside

breweries, restaurants and trendy

The Southern Ocean in winter is a spectacular display as it crashes against the rugged cliffs
and historic rock formations. Pods of whales, dolphins and seals can often be seen frolicking
just off the coast. The scenery dramatically transforms as you move inland to swollen rivers,
vast mountain ranges, charming country towns and lush green farmers fields.
The town of Denmark, which sits
on the banks of the Denmark River,
has views over tall tree forests
and vineyards to the ocean. The
coastline here varies between
rugged and tranquil lagoon-like
bays. Denmark’s highly acclaimed
wines have distinct characteristics
and most can be tasted at the
cellar door.
Be sure to take scenic drives such
as the Scotsdale Tourist Drive or
Mount Shadforth Scenic Drive,
where you can stop off at boutique
galleries and wineries.
The Valley of the Giants Tree Top
Walk in the tingle forest near
Denmark is a must. Meander up to
40 metres high into the canopy of
the tingle forest to get a bird’s eye
view of what’s below.
The City of Albany was WA’s first
European settlement. Princess
Royal Harbour and King George
Sound frame this beautiful port
city. Every Saturday morning a car
park in Collie Street is transformed
into a busy thriving market place
where local producers bring their
fresh, seasonal produce and sell
direct to locals and tourists.
Be sure to check out what’s on at
the Albany Entertainment Centre
which hosts an exciting line up
of national and international
performances.
Rug up and experience the beauty
of Natural Bridge and The Gap,
in the Torndirrup National Park
and don’t miss out on the fun of
Whale World, a fascinating whale
museum.
The Porongurup and Stirling
Ranges offer stunning walks, ageold rock formations and endemic
flora. Steeped in the history of early

rural heritage is characterised
by a host of pioneering farming
communities.
• Enjoy a picnic on the banks
of the picturesque Denmark
River
Get a unique glimpse of outback

3 great ideas for
adults:
The countryside around Mount
Barker, Cranbrook, Frankland and
Porongurup is one of WA’s premier
wine growing areas.
• Walk the new Granite
Skywalk, Porongurup NP and
take in the panoramic views

spectacular white sandy beaches
and whales in the winter. Take
the drive east to visit Point Ann,
famous for its whale nursery, where
it’s not unusual to see up to 40
whales at a time.
• Spend an afternoon scenic
wine touring and a gourmet
lunch at a Denmark winery
• Take a brisk walk or jog along
Middleton Beach, Albany
and keep an eye out for the
whales.
