The
town of Denmark is located on the southern coast, 423 km
south-south-east of Perth.
The town is surrounded by native woodlands with a wide variety of
trees, such as marri, karri, jarrah and red tingle, many of the latter
reaching up to 60 metres in height. The presence of these magnificent
trees within a substantially untouched environment is unique. A rare
natural wonder to observe is the red flowering gum with its cheerful
scarlet blossom.
Thousands of different wildflower species can be observed during
spring, many of which are unique to the Denmark area.
Rich bird life abounds, and includes splendid blue wrens, emus, ibis,
magpies and parrots. Also, many varieties of reptiles can be found,
along with marsupials such as the grey kangaroo, quokka, bandicoot and
possum. The abundance of fish in the ocean attracts dolphins and seals,
and each year whales visit the Denmark waters during their long journey
north.
