BACK OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! A stunning rock formatio

BACK OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!

A stunning rock formation that resembles a herd of elephants playing in the water, Elephant Rocks are huge, cracked oval boulders overlooking the Great Southern Ocean.

It’s right next to the tranquil beach that is Greens Pool, and both are part of the William Bay National Park – a scenic, rugged stretch of coastline near Denmark.

The area is only around 15km west of Denmark, and a five hour-plus drive south of Perth.
If you’re coming from that way it’s pretty much straight down Albany Hwy until Denmark-Mount Barker Rd, then South Coast Hwy and finally William Bay Rd.
The trail is easy enough to follow Greens Pool if you want to set up camp for the day on that protected area of beach.

The rocks themselves are a stunning site to behold and plenty of fun to climb over, just be wary of the Great Southern Ocean, which can be rough in certain conditions.

There is also a staircase that descends down between the rocks into Elephant Cove, where you can walk through a narrow section of the rocks onto the beach.

As Elephant Cove is more exposed to the elements, people generally tend to swim and chill by the beach around the corner at Greens Pool, which is much more protected from the elements.

A beautiful body of water less than two hours from

A beautiful body of water less than two hours from Perth, Logue Brook Dam is home to clear, calm waters of Lake Brockman, a fantastic day-trip-by-the-water spot, or a lovely camp ground.

Lake Brockman is a serious aquatic playground, with a myriad of activities on offer including swimming, fishing (even a bit of cheeky marroning in season), canoeing and kayaking, or for those with a bit of horsepower in mind you can head to the designated water skiing area.

On land, part of the Bibbulmun Track connects to the dam, and there’s even a couple of mountain biking trails nearby suitable for riders of any ability.

There are also plenty of areas to set up for a picnic and/or barbecue, just make sure you get down early to jag a spot as it can get busy during peak periods.

The Lake Brockman Tourist Park offers caravan and camping facilities, ablution blocks, a laundry and camp kitchen, along with cabins and even a café.

Doggos are welcomed – just make sure they’re kept on a leash at all times.

The lesser known cousin of Bald Head, Peak Head is

The lesser known cousin of Bald Head, Peak Head is just along the coast in Torndirrup National Park in Albany and offers up a similar, albeit shorter experience to the more popular hike.

Starting up on the hill, you descend down towards the coast before rising again up to the granite dome of Peak Head. Dangerous in wet and slippery conditions, follow the bare granite up to the peak where you will get some amazing views overlooking Eclipse Island, Torndirrup Beach, the Southern Ocean and West Cape Howe in the distance.

Get here for sunset and you’ll get a stunning light show as the sun sets over the rugged coastline to the west. In spring time expect a great number of wildflowers and orchids to line the trail and provide a splash of colour.

Start: Peak Head Road, Torndirrup National Park
Length: 4.4km (Return)
Difficulty: Moderate

In case you missed the news, Fremantle icon @littl

In case you missed the news, Fremantle icon @littlecreatures_fremantle is celebrating its 20th spin around the sun with a massive carpark party this weekend!

And much the same way you (weirdly) have to make a cake for everyone in the office on your birthday, Little Creatures are giving a little (see: a lot) back to the community with their special 20th Birthday Lockdown Lottery.

The $20,000 six-pack giveaway invites all locals (over 18 of course) who missed out on a birthday celebration (or knows someone who did) in 2020 to enter the lottery and win a six-pack of Little Creatures staple Pale Ale.

They’ve put $20,000 worth of six-packs to giveaway, which equates to 800 six-packs, almost 1600L of beer or 4800 bottles, which is definitely cause for celebration.

To enter, simply enter your details via the link in our bio.

The winners will be announced tomorrow (Tuesday 24 November), and you’ll be able to claim your six-pack from your nearest Liquor Barons store before Christmas Day.
