Canal Rocks

Location: Canal Rocks Rd, Yallingup, WA 6282

When we reached here, it was pretty windy. We were extra careful so that nothing drop to the sea from the bridge we walked along. This beautiful area is part of Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. The canal was form by the granite rocks, jut into the ocean. There is a bridge built for visitor to get the safest and best views of the area. One need to be careful during raining day as it would be slippery.

We walked along the bridge, heading towards the canal. We could see wave hitting the rock, forming a big waves. Actually the water was very clear. Upon reading some information about this area, we found out this area is popular for fishing with salmon catches a big attraction around Easter time. Hence, it would be lovely if we could make the visit to Australia next time for my fishing trip.

The sky start turning into black, and prompting us to make our way for our next destination of the day. While walking to our car, we found out a signboard. The title say "Beneath the Wave".... Upon looking at the photo, we found out the area is full with sea creatures.

There are some great bush walks in the area - the famous Cape to Cape walk passes by Canal Rocks with a route mapped from the car park to Wyadup. It`s a two hour round trip hike and one will be rewarded with stunning views over the Indian Ocean. You might even spot humpback or southern right whales migrating along the coast.
