The National Anzac Centre offers visitors an intensely personal connection with the Anzacs through interactive and multimedia displays together with unique artefacts; rare images and film; and audio commentary.
S = Salmon Holes
Salmon Holes in the Torndirrup National Park is a spot not to be missed. Walk down the stairs and let the sand squelch between your toes. Watch the crashing waves, but be aware of the signs. I love the look on the fishermen’s faces as they reel in a Salmon.
