Whales, wrecks, woodlands and wildflowers await in Western Australia’s South West. The coastline from Denmark to Albany is dotted with quiet coves, dramatic cliffs and wild surf beaches. Its townships tell tales of early European settlers and the region’s colourful whaling history. Its waters invite visitors to join a whale watching cruise, dive one of the many great shipwrecks or ride the rolling surf. Inland, towering karri forests line spectacularly scenic drives and, in Spring (October to December), the Stirling Range National Park showcases a blanket of colourful wildflowers.
