Boranup Forest is the best place in Margaret River to wander among towering karri trees, the tallest tree species in Western Australia.
Head to the scenic viewpoint on Caves Rd, located about a kilometre past the Giants Cave. Pull over here to safely park off the road and take a short stroll through the section of forest on the opposite side of the road.
Explore through the network of trails winding through the karri trees, lush ferns and dappled sunlight – perfect for taking some picturesque snaps. The popular Pies and Ale restaurant is just down the road from the viewpoint, serving a range of gourmet pies accompanied by tasty sides like mushy green peas and crispy hash browns.
Take a detour off Caves Road along Boranup Drive for a scenic drive through the forest. This peaceful gravel road is suitable for 2WD vehicles as it winds through the dense karri forest. While in the area, combine your trip with a visit to one of the nearby caves, such as Lake Cave or Giants Cave.
