At Canal Rocks, in
Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park , the granitic rocks which jut out into the ocean are separated by a series of canals that have been hollowed out by the sea, we might, with a bit of luck, see humpback and southern right whales. And for sure we will spot some see dolphins along the track.
One of the loveliest spots to visit is the historic homestead at Ellensbrook, which is managed by the National Trust. A walktrail leads to a cave and the delightful Meekadarabee Falls, known to Aboriginal people as the "bathing place of the Moon", which is at its best in winter and spring.
In the right weather conditions there are some enjoyable and safe places to snorkel, such as at Prevelly and Gnarabup. Scattered along this coast are sheltered bays suitable for launching small boats, such as Kilcarnup, Cowaramup Bay and Prevelly. Tracks to the more isolated surfing and fishing spots on the coast are often suitable only for four-wheel-drive, because of the rough limestone that protrudes from the road surfaces.
Boranup Karri Forest, within the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, lies between Caves Road and the coast, and creates a powerful contrast with the rest of the coastline. Tall pale-barked karri trees, reaching 60 metres or more high, dominate the hilly slopes and valleys. The Boranup Forest, as you see it today, is about 100 years old. It is a regrowth forest.
