On our third day in Margaret River, after visiting Prevelly Beach we went for a wonderful drive through the Boranup Forest.
Boranup Forest is known for its stunning Karri trees. These towering trees, some over 60m high, ripple across the valley. This forest is an easy 25 minute drive south of Margaret River town along Caves Road
We drove along the length of Boranup Rd to take in the grandeur of these magnificent trees. The road is gravel but well maintained and fine for 2 wheel drive cars and our mini bus.
The sight of these enormous trees was amazing and the forest was a feast for the senses. The forest floor was tumbling with wildflowers, orchids and funghi together with the sounds of native birds and the fresh smell of eucalypt. The sunlight filtering through the canopy made the whole area mystical.
We walked through this magical place with the trees towering above us and the ground covered in beautiful vegetation. I felt so calm and at peace walking through the forest. There were times where I was transported back to my child hood where I was raised and spent hours exploring and playing in the natural bush and rocks of my own “backyard”
The Karri trees are just simply majestic. The forest is so peaceful and serene. We stopped in one of the designated spots and stepped into a world of birdsong and wind whispering through the leaves. The serenity was amazing.
This is the perfect place to fully enjoy Nature and feed your soul. Experience the beautiful, majestic karri trees surrounding you and all the other sights and sounds peacefully yet powerfully recharging your senses. I felt as though I was enveloped by Mother Nature’s infinite abundance and filled with an inner harmony that will remain with me for a long time.
We took the short walk to Boranup Lookout, where we looked over the sweeping views of the forest and the coast and the stunning turquoise waters of nearby Hamelin Bay. It was another magic moment.
This forest with its stunning far reaching views, towering regal trees, windflowers that colour the forest floor and limestone rocks that frame it all is a photographers dream.
What a wonderful walk! Thank you for sharing.
It was pretty fabulous. Thanks Lyn
It is certainly a majestic spot Lyn, I can smell that freshness from here. And the tourism industry will get a hammering after this virus, everyone will want to visit all these places you’ve been 😂 🤣
Thank you for sharing another paradise dear lady 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
Thanks Mark for your wonderful comment. It is a very unique spot which is totally natural. Lyn
I never heard of Karri trees before. Thanks for introducing them to me. I suppose that they are among the world’s tallest trees.
Hi Lyn. Be well.

Thanks Neil, they probably are among the tallest as many grow over 60 mts. They are quite unique in their appearance. Stay calm, and well. Lyn
Brilliant photography and a lovely walkway Lyn.
Thanks so much. It really is a very serene and beautiful place. Lyn
Welcome always dear Lyn.😊😊😊😊
Those trees are stunning. Great photos. :)
Thanks Lynette. Very unique and quite different from your trees in Canada. Lyn
that too takes me back to childhood walks among the Karri and Jarrah trees and the gorgeous wildflowers..Kay
That sounds like pretty fabulous childhood memories. Thanks Kay, Lyn
So beautiful! It sounds like a wonderful experience. I love the photos!
Thanks Katelon. It was super. Just such a special feeling being amongst it. Thanks, Lyn
I never tire of those beautiful blue skies Lyn.
Me too Sue, I always notice the sky wherever I am. Thanks, Lyn
Wow a lovely blog made me feel like I was there. Thank you Lyn 💜💜
Thanks Leah, it is a lovely tranquil forest with the best feel. Lyn x
Nothing like getting out for a forest walk. Thanks for introducing me to the Karri trees—beautiful!
I agree Caroline. I feel good when I am in the bush, the beach or anywhere that mother nature is. I had a lovely visit to Cathedral Grove last July, it was fabulous. Thanks, Lyn
The Karri trees are magnificent! What a great place to enjoy nature.
It was a super outing Linda. A couple of the ladies in our group really know their wild flowers so they were explaining the names of each flower. It was fab. Thanks, Lyn
Beautiful photos! Thanks for allowing us to travel vicariously.
Thanks Mark, it is a lovely place. Lyn
I am guessing would be good to go there in winter right? because summers are boiling in Perth
I would imagine winter would be very cold. We were there in Spring and it was cold. Margaret River is a couple of hours drive south of Perth. Lyn
