Wildflowers
From July through to October the region comes alive with the display of Western Australian wildflowers, although some species are present all year round. The Everlastings are the first to appear and can be found within an hours drive from Dongara Denison. Make sure that the only souveniers that you leave with are pictures as the picking of wildflowers is prohibited.

Explore South Beach.This wide, white sand beach stretches to the horizon or, if you don’t fancy walking, cruise along beautiful South Beach in your car - no need for a 4WD. But, if you do have a 4WD, there are plenty of tracks to go exploring. South Beach is also home to our local Surf Club with regular patrols conducted on weekends.

For a truly leisurely walk, the Irwin River Nature Trail is just perfect. Spot all the interesting river wildlife, including black swans and pelicans, just to name a few. Access off Church Street, where the Lookout affords beautiful views of the rivermouth and ocean.

Visit Russ Cottage, built in the late 1860’s. The Cottage was restored by the Irwin District Historical Society and is typical of a yeoman’s cottage of the time. For more information, contact the Irwin Historical Society on PH 9927 1323. For more history, do the Heritage Trail. This 1.6km walk features 28 heritage-listed buildings. Booklets, which give the history of each of the buildings, are available at the Tourist Centre for $2.00. See the Royal Steam Flour Mill, built in about 1894 from the plans of Mr Henry Simon of Manchester, England.

The Fisherman’s Lookout-Obelisk at Port Denison offers panoramic views of the harbour and surrounds. A plaque depicting local shipwrecks is on display at the Obelisk. A boardwalk now surrounds the Obelisk to allow easy viewing.

Hungry? Take in the many culinary delights that Dongara Denison has to offer from the finest bakeries in the Midwest to exquisite cuisine offered at a variety of restaurants.
