Point D’Entrecasteaux (#2 in “Deep South WA meets Southern Ocean” series)

Around one hour’s easy drive south from Pemberton, via Northcliffe, you meet the Southern Ocean at Windy Harbour.

To the east, hulking over its sheltered bay and its little collection of shacks and camping ground/caravan park, is Point D’Entrecasteaux.

Warren River mouth (#1 in “Deep South WA meets Southern Ocean” series)

 

The featured image (all photos copyright Doug Spencer, 27 October 2016) was taken from Yeagarup Beach, circa 30 kilometres from Pemberton.

The Southern Ocean’s shore was just behind me, as I gazed across the Warren River’s lowermost section.

To get there, we had driven through some of Australia’s most beautiful “virgin” tall Eucalypt forest, then crossed the Southern Hemispere’s largest land-locked mobile dune system.

Deep South WA meets Southern Ocean (teaser to new series)

This series will showcase Western Australia’s southernmost shoreline – from the mouth of the Warren River, through to Point Ann.

In most of the world “magnificent, wild, uncrowded, not even one house within sight” and “easily reached” are mutually exclusive categories.

Not here!
