COASTAL LOOKOUTS
The scenery and coastal lookouts as you head south are majestic . Yallingup offers some great surf beaches . Sugarloaf Rock , Canal Rocks , Injidup and Moses Rock provide stops well worth lingering at .
Wallclife Road leads to Margaret River to the east and Prevelly to the west . Margaret River offers several places to stay for RVers ; a few nights here with a guided wine tour is not a bad way to spend some time .
The scenic Boranup Drive through a karri forest is another ‘ must ’. Finish your explorations off with a visit to the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse and stand at the south-west tip of Australia to watch the Indian Ocean and Southern Ocean converge .
SOUTHERN FORESTS
The Brockman Highway ( 10 ) skirts along the southern boundary of Wiltshire-Butler NP , through Milyeannup and Hilliger NPs via Stewart Road . Pick up 10 again just north of Greater Beedelup NP .
A magnficient karri forest
Depending on your rig , you can find a campsite in greater Hawke NP or Warren NP ; caravanners can opt for the town of Pemberton .
Gloucester NP with the 58m high famous Gloucester Tree is well worth a visit , even if you decline the climb to the top of the fire lookout .
D ’ ENTRECASTEAUX NATIONAL PARK
If you would like to do some camping in coastal D ’ Entrecasteaux NP , Windy Harbour offers the only caravan camping via a sealed road . From Windy Harbour , return to Northcliffe and continue on Middleton Road to Shannon NP where you really must spend at least a couple of nights at the campground to complete the 50km Great Forest Trees Drive and some of the marked bush walks .
From Shannon , Highway 1 plunges south between D ’ Entrecasteaux NP and Mt Franklin NP to Walpole .
Set-up camp and plan to spend several days here . Get the tinnie off the roof and explore Walpole & Nornalup Inlets Marine Park .
