Kings park in spring time is something special. For those who don’t know, Kings park is a 1000 acre park on the western edge of Perths CBD, and one of the largest inner city parks in the world. Much of the park is natural bush land though there are large areas of gardens showcasing Western Australia’s diverse range of flora.

Strange photo to start my travels with? It was a strange night! I left Denmark and drove to Dwellingup, a small town about an hour out of Perth up in the Darling Ranges. A friend of mine owns a few acres in the bush and some friends had driven down from Perth to catch up with me on my return from the south west.
I’d only arrived there perhaps an hour earlier and we were sitting around the bonfire having a drink and chatting when there was an almighty SMASH from the highway about 400m away from us across a paddock.
I went into Albany today to get my car window fixed after my Nullaki walk the other day. I decided to spend a few hours in town with the macro lens checking out some of the plant life, these photos are the result.
Boat harbour is about 30 kilometres west of Denmark, the small road off the main highway is easy to drive for the first five kilometres or so but then the track becomes four wheel drive only for the final half of the track. If you like visiting places that are out of the way and not part of the normal tourist route, then the trip is well worth it.
Point Hillier is a huge headland about 20kms west of Denmark, the headland is an obvious landmark from many of the local beaches in the area. The east side of Point Hillier consists of Hillier Bay and Parry’s beach a sometimes windy, sometimes strewn with piles of seaweed, beautiful beach. There’s four wheel drive access to the beach and you can then drive all the way around to Mazoletti beach and William bay so long as Parry inlet has it’s sand bar closed.
