Pemberton is a tiny adventure town in Western Australia, surrounded by several of the country’s remote national parks like the Gloucester National Park, the Greater Beedelup National Park, and the Big Brook State Forest. The town’s spectacular natural landscapes offer several outdoor sports like mountain biking and canoeing. The area is famous for its tall karri trees with numerous hiking tracks and forest trails crisscrossing the wildernesses. The towering Gloucester Tree within the Gloucester National Park is a popular lookout point with spectacular views of the surrounding forested landscape. The Cascades Waterfall and the pristine rapids at Lefroy Brook are both worth a visit. Once an old sawmilling town, the Pemberton Museum showcases the settlement’s history. Pemberton is also known for its local wineries producing delicious chardonnay and pinot noir, among other wines.
