Boranup Forest - Karri Trees - Leeuwin-Naturalist National Park

Karri Trees - Boranup Forest - Leeuwin-Naturalist National Park


Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park is a national park in the South West region of Western Australia (Australia), 267 km south of Perth. It is named after the two locations at either end of the park which have lighthouses, Cape Leeuwin and Cape Naturaliste. It is located in the Augusta-Margaret River and Busselton council areas, and is claimed to have the highest visiting numbers of any national park in Western Australia.

Karri Trees - Boranup Forest


The Boranup Forest is about 20 kms from Margaret River.
The scenic drive through Boranup Forest amongst the magnificent, tall Karri trees is amazing.






Karri trees can grow up to 60 metres or tall. The roads through the forest are suitable for all vehicles. The Boranup Forest is a favourite spot for holiday makers. Travellers can visit briefly and enjoy a BBQ and/or picnic. If you want a longer stay a camping area is provided.

The Karri Forest timbers were heavily milled and the trees we look at today are regrowth. The last mill closed in Karridale in 1913 - nearly 100 years ago.

*** stand ... and look up ***

Today had been over 40 degrees and this evening was balmy, so we decided to go for a walk to the beach.

Enjoy ...

Australia Day Sunset

January 26th 2012 12:31
... and some sunsets produce a blaze of colour ...

... Australia Day ends in a blaze of colour ...


Every year Australia Day is celebrated in Australia on the 26th January. This year Perth has experienced an extremely hot day, with most of its population sweltering in record heat. A lot of families headed for our world renowned beaches in an effort to keep cool. Fewer families than usual headed for the Swan River for a family picnic.

The day ended with this beautiful sunset.
