Denmark

The scenery today between Augusta and Denmark was extraordinary. Quirky villages, some ocean views and Forrest roads. We managed to jag an off road Forrest trail detour to take in some Forrest giants - 300 year old 85m high Karri’s.
It’s probably fair to say we have been starved for big timber, but the SW of WA has delivered that in spades with the Karri Forrest and a variety of massive River Gums. This region also has very different topology with plenty of hills contributing to fun driving conditions.
Google insists the Denmark population is 5,845 but I assume it feels like so many more because of holiday makers. There is certainly plenty to see. Eye poppingly beautiful beaches, big inland lake, hilly hinterland, bucolic farmland, vineyards at every turn, cycle ways to get between these features and a quaint Tidy Town Entrant township.
Our digs here are excellent. In the hilltop Ducketts Mill Winery. Views out the van of vineyards and the valley toward the coast.Read more
