1. Bunda Cliffs
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 39 reviews
Reviewed By 1TraveltheWorld - Alice Springs, Australia
There are several stops you can make to view the Bunda Cliffs with the outlook better at some locations than others. While some old sights are closed due to unstable cliff tops, other places along the way are easy to access the sights over the Great Australian Bight. Some stop points are signed, others not. If you have a 4WD, you can easily drive along the dirt roads, (some a little overgrown) both near the cliff faces or further away for dozens of kilometres if you wish. If you choose to do so, it is easy to access the highway on several roads and many locations along the way, just turn right and head North - it’s not far.

We arrived before the park opened but you are still allowed in. We saw amazing wading birds, pelicans and others. Also vivid blue wrens. The koala walk was great too and enabled us to see these animals in close proximity. Well tended gardens made for a lovely early morning walk.

We had Chris for our True Crime Tour and Janine for our Torch Light tour which were both really good and worth doing. The True Crime tour talks about crimes committed but does not go in to too much detail and therefore is not gross. If you want to hear more about the Claremont case I can recommend the Crime Junkie pod cast which has an episode on the case... This does however go in to a fair amount of detail and would not be recommended for under 16s. The Torch Light tour is good and a very different experience again. A little scary at times but great fun and interesting history on the place.
6. Cape Leeuwin

Reviewed By kateh145
This cape is the point at which the Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean meet. The seas are pretty wild, even in the relatively calm conditions on the day of our visit. The views are brilliant, like most of the surrounding coastline. It's worth a visit to the lighthouse to explore the lookout and also the interpretive centre. I'm sure the lighthouse itself would be well worth a visit too, but the number of steps inside it beat me. Recommended.
7. Gloucester Tree

Reviewed By radiochick74 - Melbourne, Australia
While on a day trip in the Pemberton area, We plucked up the courage to climb the famous Gloucester Tree to the top. 53m is a long way up! It took about 15mins to reach the top with short breaks in n the way up to admire the view. There were people at the bottom waiting to climb up when I came down so I got a round of applause. The signs are true - you do climb at your own risk and there are very little safety measures in place. So glad I did it!

Stopped for lunch on a stinking hot day. The room we were in was quite cool thanks to the thick homestead walls.. I had the Veg burger. Mushroom camenbert cheese caramelised onions and salad. Served with tasty sweet potato chips. It was wonderful. I think new owners have taken charge. Everyone liked their meals. The s&p squid was generous and very tasty. We visit harvey reg.

I wasn't sure i wanted to visit this place, but I'm definitely glad I did. I loved the little random plaques with local noongah information, random quotes as well as the information about the windmills. The wild flowers were lovely and the views were spectacular....i highly recommend visiting for beautiful sunset.
