July 21 - Southern Forests


We took a scenic drive through the tall timber forests of the Boranup Karri Forest just south of Margaret River. The area is part of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. Boranup Karri Forest is unique for its proximity to the coast. This is the furthest west that the tall pale-barked karri trees grow. Karris can reach 60 metres or more in height and cover the hilly slopes and valleys of the forest. As we were driving the area just opened up to these huge trees. It was impressive!
