Southern Forests & Valley of the Giants — Pemberton to Albany.
Two days through the tall-timber country of Western Australia's south coast. From the towering karri forests around Pemberton, the route descends to the Walpole Wilderness and the ancient red tingle trees of the Valley of the Giants, then follows the Southern Ocean shore east to the historic port of Albany. Cool, green, and uncrowded — a complete contrast to WA's desert interior.
