Boranup Karri Forest
Tall karri trees beside Caves Road, with straight, pale trunks reaching 60 meters; drive the forest tracks or climb the Boranup lookout.
Boranup Forest is a regenerated stand of karri eucalyptus within Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. The trunks are pale and straight, reaching up to 60 meters. Caves Road runs through the forest and is one of the most scenic driving stretches in Western Australia. You can turn onto the roughly 14-kilometer Boranup Forest dirt track and drive slowly, with picnic areas along the way. The Boranup Lookout offers views over the forest and coastline. Kangaroos and birds are often seen in the forest. Entry is free. Watch for wildlife crossing the road and slow down at dusk. It can be combined with Mammoth Cave, Lake Cave and Hamelin Bay on the same day.
