The Stirling Range National Park is home to more than 1,500 species of native plants, 87 of which aren’t found anywhere else in the world. With unique and abundant wildflowers, including Banksia, Dryandras, Queen Sheba Orchids and Mountain Bells, plus the beauty of the mountain landscape, this park is one of the South West’s most popular destinations. The pathways in Porongurup National Park lead through Marri, Jarrah and Karri forest to reach the summits of weathered granite domes. From here there are panoramic views of the coastline, the nearby Stirling Range, surrounding farmland and vineyards.
Amongst the granite and the scenic views you’ll discover a diversity of native flora and fauna; from the yellow Acacias and purple Hovea, to wallabies, antechinus, southern brown bandicoots and grey kangaroos. The powerful Southern Ocean has sculptured spectacular coastal features known as ‘The Gap’ and the ‘Natural Bridge’ along Torndirrup National Park’s buffeted coastline. Complemented by a display of wildflowers, including the Sticky Tailflower, the pink Pimilea Rosea and blue Scaevola Nitida.
Margaret River William Bay National Park is renowned for its windswept granite rocks, which have a striking primeval appearance. Enjoy one of Western Australia’s most iconic beaches at Greens Pool. Clear emerald waters, pure white sand and granite rocks shelter the bay, making it a top spot for swimming, snorkelling and diving in The Southern Ocean. We visit Western Australia’s famous Valley of the Giants. This magnificent sight is best from the Tree Top Walk, which soars gently upwards, 40 metres into the tingle foliage and extends for 600 metres.Programme
