As the Noongar season of Djeran arrives in Pemberton, the days begin to cool, the winds calm, and the evenings turn balmy. This is the perfect time to head outdoors for some camping, hiking, and stargazing under the towering karri trees. With clear skies, crisp nights, and mild daytime temperatures, Djeran offers a peaceful escape into nature.

A Perfect Season for Camping

Whether you’re camping at the Pemberton Caravan Park (read more about that special place here), or the new camp at RAC Karri Valley Resort or choose a private campground at the Yeagarup Hut or along the banks of the Donnelly River, Djeran’s mild weather provides an ideal environment for spending time outdoors. Want to try camping but dont have the gear? The WA Wilderness Camping Experience offers campsites all ready to go to experience the natural beauty of the region while relaxing by the campfire and enjoying Pemberton’s tranquil evenings without the equipment (it is done for you).

As night falls, the sky comes alive with stars. The lack of light pollution in the region makes it an ideal spot for stargazing, where constellations seem to pop out of the sky. Gather around the campfire with friends or family, and take in the beauty of the Milky Way as it stretches across the night sky.

Balmy Evenings and Outdoor Adventures

During the day, explore Pemberton’s endless trails. The cool mornings are perfect for hiking through Warren National Park or tackling a section of the Bibbulmun Track, while the warmer afternoons invite you to paddle in Lake Beedelup or take a refreshing swim. For those looking for more adventure, the Yeagarup Dunes remain a favourite for 4WD enthusiasts, providing breathtaking views of the coastal wilderness.

Indulge in Local Produce

Djeran is also a great time to experience the fresh produce Pemberton has to offer. Visit the local farmers’ markets, where you’ll find the last of the autumn harvest, including feijoas, apples, and late-season stone fruits. Pair these with a bottle of Pinot Noir from a local winery for a delightful picnic under the stars.

A Season for Stargazing and Sustainability

As you explore Pemberton during Djeran, remember to follow the Leave No Trace principles. The region’s natural beauty is preserved through sustainable tourism, and visitors are encouraged to respect the land, camp responsibly, and leave campsites as they found them.
