From tall, shady trees and gently dappled<br />
woodland areas, journey through the<br />
sweeping mountain vistas of the Stirling<br />
and Porongurup Ranges, and on down<br />
to the spectacular southern coastline.<br />
You’ll marvel at the vibrant contrast<br />
of natural colours among the rich<br />
and diverse flora along the way.<br />
Native birds like the red-tailed and<br />
white-tailed black cockatoos, peregrine<br />
falcons, emus and blue wrens can<br />
be observed in their natural habitat,<br />
along with kangaroos and wallabies.<br />
The southern coastal area from<br />
Albany to Walpole is rugged and<br />
dramatic. Here you’ll enter cool forests<br />
of jarrah and marri trees and walk<br />
high up amongst the lofty tingle<br />
trees that shade the forest floor.<br />
Rich colours blend with stunning<br />
scenery to create a trail of contrasts<br />
and true natural beauty.<br />
