4 Wheel Driving

There is great 4 wheel driving in the D'Entrecasteaux National Park south of Pemberton. The D'Entrecasteaux National Park is a long coastal national park some 5 to 20 kilometres which stretches along the south coast for more than 130 kilometres between Augusta and Walpole. It is the result of the amalgamation of various State forests and timber reserves, Crown land, Shire of Manjimup reserves, conservation reserves, pastoral leases and freehold purchases between the 1970s and 1990s.

Yeagarup Dunes and beach

The Yeagarup Dunes are a missive land-locked mobile dune system that is slowly moving inland. The journey across the dunes is challenging yet rewarding with Yeagarup Beach beyond. The track over the dunes is through soft sand so you will need to reduce your tyre pressure. Please follow the posts that designage the route across the dunes. Camper trailers are not permitted on the dunes due to the steep ascent through soft sand.
