State of Western Australia Off the Beaten Path Tips by K.Knight

Window mountain

Cape Le Grand National Park is an exceptionally scenic park. Not too many travelers head out this way although it is situated only 50 km east of Esperance. If you decide to take the drive out, within 1 hour you should be enjoying Bushwalking, swimming, camping, birdwatching, whalewatching, picnicking, photography, four-wheel-driving or fishing.

Facilities:
BBQs, toilets, tables, campsite, picnic areas, shade shelters, water, information bay, walk trails.

Off The Beaten Path: Cape Le Grand National Park - Lucky Bay

Tip Rating:

Lucky Bay

Two camping grounds are situated at Cape Le Grand National Park, one at Lucky Bay, and the other at Le Grand Beach (see map). Facilities include septic toilets and showers. A camping fee is charged. Firewood is scarce in the park and you should bring a portable gas stove.

Boats are best launched at Lucky Bay. Small boats can also be launched from Cape Le Grand Beach. Launching at Rossiter Bay is not recommended. These beaches are notoriously treacherous for vehicles and it is easy to become bogged in the most innocent looking wet or dry sand. Ask the ranger about surface conditions and tides.

Emu

Driving from Denham to Monkey Mia you will often see Emu's either crossing the road or simply walking along seemingly aimless.

The Family tree!

Taken at Windjana Gorge National Park, in the remote Kimberley. Windjana Gorge can be found on the track that leaves the Gibb river road, heading out of Derby, and joins the highway to Fitzroy crossing.

The early bird......gets the best

spot!

Taken along the Gibb River Road, in the remote Kimberley. Gallahs are plentyful all over Australia and can be found in abundance in the Kimberley, especially around these isolated water holes, creeks and rivers. They are beautiful birds but they are also noisy and will wake you early!

Keep out of the rough?

The Denham golf club is unique because it is a golf course with "Tees" and "greens" of black tar and sandy fairways. You carry a piece of artificial grass with you and you place your ball on it before you hit your next shot!

Talk about handicap!

The Denham golf club is unique because it is a golf course with "Tees" and "greens" of black tar and sandy fairways. You rake the path that your ball will take to the hole before you putt your ball!
