Great Southern - Denmark

Today we slowly start our journey back to the "East". We head east along the south coast of WA to Denmark. Once a timber town it is now a quaint holiday village trying hard to become trendy.

As we left Augusta we loaded up at the local bakery with goodies and fueled up the van. Today is the longest drive we've had for some weeks; 310km.

Our early morning drive through the fog bound Karri forest was spectacular.
