20 kilometres southwest of Pemberton, in southwestern WA’s “Karri country”, the Yeagarup Dunes cover circa 30 square kilometres.
They are the Southern Hemisphere’s largest mobile, land-locked dune system.
The Yeagarup Dunes are currently advancing inland at circa 4 metres per year.
This post’s photos were taken from the top of their “hungry” edge, on 27 October 2016.
Fit individuals with a 2WD vehicle can drive it to Yeagarup Lake, and then walk into the dunes.
Vehicular access to them is very definitely 4WD-only, and should only be attempted by skilled, sensible, experienced drivers.
i highly recommend the ethical, capable and very knowledgeable local operator with whom we have twice experienced this extraordinary place, along with adjoining forests, estuary, and truly-wild ocean shoreline.
That operator is the publisher of this explanation of the Yeagarup Dunes’ existence.
This series next few chapters will involve some more elevated vantage points.
