Denmark

Time to take you to Denmark. Not the one in Europe tho, little town called Denmark is located on the southern coast of WA and it's a very nice spot to visit. The best time to go would probably be Perth's summer cause it's usually bit cooler down there but we had a chance to go there during Australian winter and it wasn't too bad at all.

Part of the whole experience being so good might have been that we had an opportunity to stay in a true mansion overlooking the ocean:

Denmark is really small (just under 3.000 people) so no matter where do you stay you're going to be close to everything. Including the ocean of course. But before you head there you may want to buy a pie from a famous local bakery and enjoy it on the banks of Denmark River.

If you've seen my photos from up north you can probably see it's much greener here.

Alright, let's get to the ocean. You probably want to visit Elephant Rocks:

This one if I remember correctly would be Lights Beach:

9. The other side

All this places are within few minutes driving from town center. But if you want to go a bit further there's even more spots worth visiting. For example on the way to Wallpole (west of Denmark):

While you're driving around you may spot some locals. There's plenty of sheep around:

But you shouldn't have any troubles spotting kangaroos either:

Some of them very close by so look around when you get out of the car:

If you reckon Denmark is worth visiting that's where you want to go - just over 400km from Perth:
