The Great South West Walk
Unique to anything in the world, The Great South West Walk provides the chance to discover the natural features that make Australia so exceptional.
The contrasts of this 250km walk are amazing: from a forest section with spectacular wild flowers, to a river gorge with precipitous limestone cliffs; long stretches of beach with mountainous sand dunes and rugged capes with sheer cliff faces that endure the wrath of the treacherous southern sea.
Take an hour, a day, a week or two discovering what The Great South West Walk offers. The walk can be accessed for day and short walks, is well marked and features 16 campsites dotted along the way. All campsites feature a pit toilet, fresh water supply and a wood barbecue or stone fire ring. For those who crave creature comforts, various accommodation houses exist along the way.
The best time to explore The Great South West Walk is from October to December, or March to June. You should allow at least 12 days to complete the full walk. Other activities can be interspersed along the way, such as canoeing, mountain bike riding and caving which will make your adverture even more diverse, exciting and enjoyable.
The Visitor Information Centre has strip maps and track notes, twenty short walks, a broadsheet map, a video and other information, which is available at a small charge.

Seal Caves - Scenic Walk
Discover one of Cape Bridgewater's most popular treasures - the Australian Fur Seals. Seal Point is home to more than 650 seals. You can take an energetic 2 hour return walk to the seal colony from either the Bridgewater Beach kiosk or the carpark on the hill. A less energetic 3 hour return walk can be taken from the Blowholes carpark. When you arrive at the seal-viewing platform you will be able to see seals basking in the sun and frollicking in the water below. Alternatively, you can take a 45-minute boat trip with Seal by Sea Tours to experience a unique interaction with these creatures in their natural habitat.

Sea Cliff Nature Walk
The Sea Cliff Nature Walk takes in views out to the Southern Ocean around the cliff tops and farmland of Cape Nelson. It is a gentle 3km loop walk leaving from the carpark adjacent to the Cape Nelson Road and Scenic Drive.

The Enchanted Forest
This 45 minute round trip walk takes you through the canopy to lookouts and boardwalks where you can view the ocean and spectacular cliff formations. The dense, almost tropical vegetation has been created due to an old landslip below the level of the cliff top and covered by Moonah Trees (Melaleuca lancealata).

Smelter Nature Walk
Together with 'The Friends of the Great South West Walk', Portland Aluminium has constructed a paved nature walk along the cliff top south of their site (adjacent to the Gannet Colony).
The 4 km return walk features wonderful coastal scenery and diverse and unique flora with several rest areas along the way. A carpark is situated at each end, making the walk suitable for wheelchairs and prams.
