Mulka’s Cave is a 15 minute drive from the rock and also worth a visit as you’ll find some amazing ancient aboriginal drawings carved into the rock walls inside the cave. Williams Bay National Park is a 15 minute drive west from Denmark and a 5 hour drive south of Perth by following the Albany Highway. Due to the striking formations and ancient history of Purnululu National Park, it’s no surprise that it’s included as 1 out of only 16 natural UNESCO sites in all of Australia. The other highlights of visiting this national park are Cathedral Gorge and Echidna Chasm (both located in the north section of the national park), be sure not to miss these amazing natural formations!

Some of our favourite spots in Kings Park include: near the war memorial with great views of the city, around the Pioneer Women’s Memorial Fountain and the Saw Avenue picnic area. There are plenty of spots all over the park to throw down a blanket; you can sit near the waterfall if it’s flowing, climb up to the ‘eagles nest’ viewpoint or make use of the barbecue facilities under the beautiful big trees near the carpark. There are great views of the city with the river in the foreground and depending on the time of year the sun sets over or near the river on the opposite side leading to some beautiful light reflecting from the water. There are beautiful views of both river and city and it’s a brilliant spot to catch a sunset.
