We pause van life to explore untamed DENMARK WA | Greens Pools, Elephant Rocks | Australia Road Trip

----
Get ready for some seriously stunning coastlines 🤩🌊 Welcome To Denmark Western Australia! A raw and untamed stretch of beauty, 5 hours south of Perth and a hop skip from Margaret River and Albany.
[Episode 44] On our Western Australia road trip we’ve driven 14 hours from Coral Bay to catch up with Dunc’s dad Marky Mark before he sets off on his retirement - a converted 4wd Mercedes Sprinter Van with no end date in sight.
HIGHLIGHTS
0:00 Intro
3:00 The Beauty of Denmark
5:31 Cycling the Coastline
13:17 Shark!
13:48 Greens Pool, Elephant Rocks
29:00 Live Music @ Boston Brewery!
Keen to show off the place he’s called home for the past 8 years we explore these epic spots:
We go cycling! We cycle the stunning WOW track (part of the 1,000km Bibbulmum track). Hugging the coastline you really can’t beat the views of some of Western Australia’s best beaches. It’s undulating but an easy, well-graded cycle.
We get up early and hike from Greens Pools to famous ELEPHANT ROCKS, and venture further to Madfish Bay. Our favourite swimming spot in Denmark WA for swimming and snorkelling 🏝 Hiking there, AND back! we’ve worked up an appetite…
So we refresh and refuel at Boston Brewery (Boston Brewing Co), fast becoming a favourite of ours for their extensive range of beers on tap, epic food (everything is delicious) and regular live music. Can’t beat it.
Exploring Denmark through the lens of a local (thanks Mark!) has been a dream, plus it’s been nice to escape Van life for a while, stretch out on a couch, have access to running waters and powerful showers. Bliss.
Next stop, we’re back caravanning Australia heading to Albany, Esperance WA, then back up the coast to explore the places that we missed on our way down. We swim with sea lions, whale sharks in Exmouth and tackle some of Australia’s best hiking in Karijini National Park.
Come join us for the adventure ☺️

    Thanks Kerry! He really does know his stuff! He’s a very passionate and learned man - that’ll be the teacher in him. Very curious to learn about the world he lives in. We tell him to start a blog or something so maybe one day……

    Great to see the old beat. Great place to live and work for 8-years. Highly recommend to all travellers to sample the chilled vibe of Denmark and environs👍. Still haven’t found any place quite as idyllic on my 2.5-years travelling and retired on the road yet? Well done guys. You’ve nailed the narrative, visuals and the music again. Shrimpy Senr.
