Crystal clear waters, powdery, white sands, expansive granite bluffs, and sunbathing kangaroos? Sound like a dream? Well, it’s not, because today you’ll wake up in paradise. Pristine and perfect are two words that reflect the absolute beauty of Cape Le Grand National Park. The ocean here is transparent, and the sand at Lucky Bay has twice been judged Australia’s whitest. Meet the iconic western greys, who don’t mind posing for that iconic kangaroo selfie. Spend the whole day exploring, swimming and bushwalking. You’ll also have some free time to do whatever you please.

DAY 8: Cape Le Grand National Park to Stirling Ranges

Sunrise here is spectacular, and it’s also when the kangaroos are at their most active. Wander onto the beach nice and early to see these, before a hike up Frenchman Peak.
