How sweet our 1st Winter Wanderer in Visit Dwellingup was last weekend!🧡🌳

We kicked off our six hike Winter Wanderers series with a 9km hike along the Chuditch Trail in Lane Poole Reserve.🏞

As we hiked along the trail we were enchanted by the lush jarrah, marri forest filled with xanthorrea, bracken ferns, zamia palms, sundews, karri hazel, old man's beard and glistening rain drops. With red tailed black cockatoos grazing high in the treetops we felt blessed to see these beauties in their natural habitat.🌳

Big thanks to Shire of Murray & Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries for being our partners and sponsors for this event and allowing the priviledge of inspiring and educating more to get outdoors and discover the benefits of hiking!🧡

🌊🏞️ Ningaloo and Cape Range Gourmet Adventure 🌅🐋

From reef to range, this trip was nothing short of extraordinary! Kayaking through crystal clear waters, snorkelling amidst incredible coral and schools of luminescent fish, and up-close encounters with whale sharks were just the beginning. Hiking through stunning gorges and ancient coral beds reminded us of the incredible beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage area. 🌟

We kicked off with a breathtaking sunset over Ningaloo Reef and wrapped up with an awe-inspiring sunrise at Charles Knife Canyon. Where the desert meets the ocean, we built our confidence in the water with three amazing adventures:

✅ Kayaking and snorkeling with 🚣‍♂️
✅ Coral viewing from a semi-submersible glass bottomed boat and more snorkeling with 🪸
✅ The ultimate whale shark adventure with 🦈

In between, we hiked! Yardie Creek Gorge brought us face-to-face with fruit bats, black-flanked wallabies, and osprey eagles. At Mandu Mandu, we discovered an ancient megalodon tooth fossil. Finally, at Badjirrajirra, we stood in awe over the ancient limestone and caves of Shot Hole Canyon. 🌿🦇🦅

Oh, did I mention we also saw turtles? And the dugongs?? 🐢🐬

Evenings were for unwinding with gourmet dinners, tasting Exmouth’s finest, and resting our heads in stunning accommodations, waking up each morning to sunrises at breakfast. 🍽️🌄

This trip transcended the ordinary, leaving an indelible mark on our memories. It transformed our perspectives, challenged our limits, and deeply connected us with this incredible area, reminding us of nature's vastness, beauty, and importance in our lives. 🌏❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“What a truly magical area to visit!! The Southern Forests of Pemberton and the Karri Valley are just spectacular but to then be provided with a "stay and play" fully organised and prepared experience was just outstanding. Not a single thing was left wanting from the fantastic crew at Off the Beaten Track WA, all I had to do was show up and participate in the informative and educational guided hikes around the Karri Forrest's. The accommodation at the RAC Karri Valley Resort was very well appointed and every meal was perfectly catered for from an assortment of local providers in the Pemberton area.” - Mark, Trip Advisor
