[b]1. SCARP POOL[/b]
Scarp Pool is a popular day use area, particularly in summer for swimming and also among canoeists as it has good river access.

[b]6. NATURAL SPA - YALLINGUP[/b]
Yallingup is close to the fabulous Margaret River region and has much to offer. Amongst these things is the natural spa at the end of Wyadup Road.

The waves tend to come up from behind the rock pool and create jet like water pressure, as the water flows down the rock face and this results in a spa-like experience.

It is situated about 3 hours from Perth.



[b]7. THE GROTTO[/b]
If you are ever around the Kununurra and Wyndham area, there are some of the most beautiful gorges in Western Australia in these areas. Amongst these is The Grotto which is off the Great Northern Highway, in Wyndham. This deep gorge can be reached by 140 steps (with no handrail) and has a swimming hole, which is a delight in this hot country.

The Grotto is a magnificent gorge that provides a picturesque and safe swimming spot. The 120-metre cliff face drops right down to the water, where it becomes an amazing waterfall during the wet season. This is a natural chasm, which is an absolute delight to cool off in.
