Southern Wonders Trail

From tall, shady trees and gently dappled woodland areas, journey through the sweeping mountain vistas of the Stirling and Porongurup Ranges, and on down to the spectacular southern coastline. You’ll marvel at the vibrant contrast of natural colours among the rich and diverse flora along the way. Native birds like the red-tailed and white-tailed black cockatoos, peregrine falcons, emus and blue wrens can be observed in their natural habitat, along with kangaroos and wallabies.

The southern coastal area from Albany to Denmark is rugged and dramatic. Here you’ll enter cool forests of jarrah and marri trees and walk high up amongst the lofty tingle trees that shade the forest floor. Rich colours blend with stunning scenery to create a trail of contrasts and true natural beauty.
