Bushwalking And The Bibbulmun Track

The bushwalking around Honeymoon View is fantastic with short and long walks around the inlet, along the Bibbulmun Track and up Weedon Hill. The inlet is great for a variety of water sports including canoeing, boating, sailing, windsurfing and fishing. Canoeing to and exploring Honeymoon Island is certainly recommended. The area is a haven for forest birds, including many parrots, and water birds, so is ideal for anyone with an interest in birdwatching. Bandicoot and other marsupials can also be seen in the forest from the house.

denmark's pioneering past

Aborigines had already inhabited the area for more than 40,000 years when, in 1829, Thomas Braidwood Wilson became the first European to explore the region, naming the local river (called 'Kurrabup' by the indigenous people) in honour of his friend, English naval surgeon Dr Alexander Denmark.

The timber industry has seen many ups and downs over the years but improvements in agriculture and a revival in timber cutting rejuvenated the district in the mid-1980s, supporting new settlers and innovative industries.

wineries in denmark

The Denmark wine region offers delightful premium wines, from vineyards set amidst the area's natural beauty.

The fine, high quality local wines have distinct, recognisable, regional characteristics, with the gentle summer temperatures and higher winter rainfall being particularly suited to Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Merlot.

There are around 14 cellar door operations, with a variety of associated attractions including gardens, picnic areas, barbecue facilities and restaurants.

Some people believe that there is an 'art magnet' hidden somewhere in Denmark, because of the number and quality of artisans and galleries in the area.

There are people working in clay, woodturning, wood carving and sculpting, furniture making, leadlighting, glass fusing, watercolours, oils and acrylics, metalwork, quilting, chainsaw sculpting, bead and jewellery making, textiles, mosaics, photography ... and just about anything else you can think of!
