Karri and limestone between the vineyards and the Indian Ocean. A tourist drive that earns it — caves in the ridge, a cape at each end, and a road that never quite leaves the trees.
Top highlights
- High altitude90 m
- Mammoth CaveA stop in the karri. The road is better than the gift shop.
- Boranup ForestThe pale trunks. Late light. This is why the drive is short and famous.
- Road qualitySealed, narrow in the forest, cyclists on the weekend. Kangaroos at dusk. The caves are signed; the ocean is a spur, not the road.
- PermitsCave tours are ticketed. The road is free.
