Elephant Rocks

Reviewed By Rochelle1986 - Perth, Australia

After a short walk on the rocks from greens pool we got to overlook elephant rocks and omg the views are stunning!! It’s a great little spot to swim, snorkel or fish Spend the day here relaxing on the sand - take a picnic and just watch the waves If rocks aren’t your thing, there is a pathway from the car park to elephant rocks so can enjoy views that way too

Karijini National Park

Reviewed By ingrida774 - Melbourne, Australia

We spent 3 night in a spacious, quiet site in Dales Gorge Campground. Everywhere we visited in Karijini NP was beautiful from the spectacular view to excellent walks and hikes. The visitor centre is about 10 km from Dales Campground, it has free wifi and a shower. In the overflow area near the Information centre you can dispose of rubbish and obtained some water. I personally loved the Dales Gorge round trip hike down to Fortesque falls, Fern Pool, walked through the Gorge to Stunning Circular Pool then climbed approximately 100 metres up, out of the Gorge. Also the view at Oxer Lookout is stunning. There are plenty of toilets throughout the NP and parking plus at Weano Gorge there is a picnic area. There is some dirt, corrugated roads into Weano and Hancock Gorges. No Telstra. Highly recommend.

We travelled from Perth on 1 Jan - and were amazed & delighted at the extraordinary landscape - hundreds of limestone formations - looked like the moon or another planet. Australia is blessed with every conceivable wonderful variety of natural scenery - and this one is special!

THE GROVE DISTILLERY & BREWERY

Where else can you find, a International Award winning distillery producing Top Shelf Spirits; a brewery that makes fantastic craft beer; cafe with homemade pizza; a cocktail bar using TGD delicious liqueurs; and secluded accommodation so you don't have to leave.

Reviewed By Lukov - Greater Perth, Australia

We popped by this afternoon on impulse - despite no notice the staff were happy to help us out with a distillery tour, which was entertaining and informative, particularlywhen it came to discussing ingredients used and the challenges of distilling in Australia vs other countries. Food was lovely (the scones are absolutely delicious!), and the quality of the spirits on offer excellent - the Turkish delight liqueur in particular i can easily see needing a repeat order. The surroundings are great - this is not an operation where quality has been skimped on at all, and it's extremely picturesque. Staff were all helpful and cheerful - my father and I had a wonderful time and are already looking forward to our next trip when we can spend more than a couple of hours here!
