Boranup Drive

We recognise and acknowledge Wardandi people as the Traditional Owners of Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.

Tall pale-barked karri trees, reaching heights of 50m or more, dominate the hilly slopes and valleys of the lush, green and majestic Boranup Forest.

No dogs

No park entry fee

Boranup Drive
Bronwyn Wells

Boranup Forest lies between Caves Road and the coast, and creates a powerful contrast with the rest of the coastline. Boranup Drive, suitable for two-wheel drive vehicles, winds through the Boranup Forest past Boranup Campground and Boranup Lookout, which gives sweeping views over the forest and the coast west to Hamelin Bay.
