About this place

The Boranup Forest, and a few other areas around Augusta and Margaret River, is the westernmost place that the Karri trees grow. The forest is particularly picturesque in the golden light of late afternoon. In spring white clematis, purple hovea, yellow hibbertia, and coral creepers add vivid colours to the cool green of the forest.
