Thirsty Point lookout
Thirsty Point Beach extends 700 meters from the southern end.

This is one of the two main swimming beaches in town.Cervantes · 17 km from Nambung
Jurien Bay
Jurien Bay is a small town located in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, facing the Indian Ocean. This beautiful town was discovered by Europeans as early as the 17th century, and has attracted numerous British explorers since 1822. It is also a natural, relaxing fishing village perfect for unwinding, featuring stretches of pristine white beaches, colorful offshore coral reefs, vibrant marine life, and fresh, delicious seafood.Jurien Bay · 33.5 km from Nambung
Whiteman Park
Whiteman Park is located in the northeastern suburbs of Perth, about 10+ km from the city center. It is a large park that combines nature conservation, family-friendly recreation, and nostalgic railway experiences, covering nearly 4,000 hectares, with the vast majority covered by native bushland. The park is located in one of the world's few biodiversity hotspots, with over 400 recorded native plant species and more than 100 bird species. Wild grey kangaroos, emus, and other animals live in the forest, and if you look up, you might even spot wedge-tailed eagles nesting in the park. It also features a dedicated conservation area that protects rare species such as the critically endangered woylie, making it a great place for birdwatching and connecting with nature near Perth. Animal lovers can focus on Caversham Wildlife Park within the park, which houses over 2,000 animals of about 200 native Australian species, where you can hand-feed kangaroos, see koalas up close, and spot wombats. The nostalgic railway is another major highlight here: the small train is pulled by steam or diesel locomotives, traveling along a narrow-gauge railway through protected Banksia woodlands, with kangaroos often appearing outside the windows. Combined with vintage trams, a tractor museum, and a transportation-themed exhibition hall, it is enough to let you see the evolution of transportation in Western Australia. The Children's Forest, planted by children themselves, hides many small sculptures that are worth searching for slowly; and with hiking trails, cycling paths, and large picnic lawns, there is enough to keep a family occupied for a whole day. The park is very large, and most museums and stations are concentrated around the central village area, while the Children's Forest and hiking trails go deep into the forest area. It is recommended to pick up a guide map after entering the park to plan your route and allow enough time. The animals in the woodlands are in their wild state, so please observe them from a distance, and leave the feeding experience for the kangaroos in the wildlife park.Australia · Whiteman
Kings Park and Botanic Garden
Kings Park and Botanic Garden is situated on Mount Eliza, west of Perth city center, and is adjacent to the University of Western Australia. The approx. 400-hectare park integrates open lawns, the Western Australian Botanic Garden, and vast areas of native bushland, making it one of the few large urban parks in the Southern Hemisphere. The park is elevated, with multiple viewing platforms facing the Perth skyline and the Swan River, making it a perfect spot for panoramic city views and sunset watching, and thus a popular destination for locals to take daily walks and relax. Plants are the stars here. The Western Australian Botanic Garden within the park features a collection of over 3,000 native Western Australian plant species. Among them, the kangaroo paw, the floral emblem of Western Australia, has flower spikes that resemble a kangaroo's front paw, and its red and green coloring makes it easy to spot among the flowers. A treetop walk suspended above the eucalyptus forest allows visitors to stroll at canopy height and overlook the Swan River from above. Every September, when spring is in full bloom in the Southern Hemisphere, the park hosts a decades-old traditional event. Native wildflowers like kangaroo paws and everlastings bloom in vast fields, making it a representative spring wildflower event in Australia. The park also carries deep cultural memories. Before the arrival of Europeans, this hill was an important site for the Noongar Aboriginal people to hold celebrations and gatherings. The park now features an art gallery where you can appreciate local indigenous art. The State War Memorial, located on high ground in the park, commemorates Western Australian soldiers who died in various wars. The Eternal Flame in the plaza burns year-round, and the path leading to the memorial is lined with memorial trees, with plaques honoring the fallen soldiers embedded beneath them. The dawn service for Anzac Day is also held here every year.Australia · Kings Park
Hutt Lagoon
Hutt Lagoon is located near Port Gregory, approx. 60 km from Kalbarri, and is one of the area's representative natural views. It is a high-salinity lake, and its striking feature is that the water can appear pink, rose-red, purplish-red, or red, creating a sharp contrast with the surrounding light-colored salt flats, green vegetation, and the coastal view in the distance. The lake's unique color is mainly related to carotenoid pigments produced by microorganisms such as Dunaliella salina. The color of the lake surface is not always consistent; it is affected by factors such as sunlight, cloud cover, season, rainfall, and water salinity. Therefore, when visiting at different times, you may see different views ranging from light pink to vibrant red.Australia · Yallabatharra

We arrived at around five in the afternoon. The beach was white and fine, but there was no one there. I was delighted to think that we had the kilometers-long high-quality beach all to ourselves. From afar, I saw two people surfing in the vast Indian Ocean, showing their bravery in the wind and waves. Great!

Jurien Bay is a very beautiful bay in South Australia. The sea water here is not deep, and the reefs on the seabed are very beautiful, mostly coral reefs. The sea water is also very clear. It is a famous snorkeling resort in Australia and is worth visiting.

这里是西澳大利亚一处景色非常优美的山谷，这里四养着许多的澳大利亚袋鼠，考拉等澳洲特有的动物，另外这里也是著名的葡萄酒种植地。每年会从这里出产许多的澳洲葡萄酒。因此也是一处西澳重要的景点，值得一来。

You need to take a boat to and from the island. You can buy a separate ticket to go out to sea to see sea lions. We went late and missed the last boat to see sea lions that day. There are several penguin shows on the island every day, and the scenery is also good. You can come with children.
