The forest is home to the pale-barked (third tallest trees in the world) that reach heights of 60m or more. The Boranup Forest is about a 100km east of the main karri belt and is separated by grey infertile sand. One unique aspect of the forest is that these karri trees grow in limestone based soils where as in the main karri belt the trees grow in deep rich red clay soil.

Hamelin Bay is located 30 km's south of Margaret River. The wide sandy bay with a rocky headland has clean, clear waters offering safe swimming, beach fishing, snorkeling, wreck and cave diving and boating year round. The beautiful white beach stretches around the bay and is sprinkled with beautiful shady old peppermint trees. Hamelin Bay is home to friendly stingrays which are huge in size and number and love to swim with snorkelers and congregate around the boat ramp for fishermen's scraps. If you stand ankle deep in the water they swim across your feet.
