Cape Arid National Park

Whales (in season), seals and Cape Barren geese are seen regularly here. Much of the park is 4WD-accessible only, although the Thomas River Rd leading to the shire campground suits all vehicles and you can reach most of the beautiful, deserted beaches either via 2WD or on foot. There's a challenging walk to the top of Tower Peak on Mt Ragged (3km return, three hours).
