TAKE IN BREATHTAKING SIGHTS AND IMMENSE TREES AS YOU TRAVEL ALONG THE KARRI FOREST EXPLORER DRIVE IN SOUTH-WEST WESTERN AUSTRALIA .
In the south-west of Western Australia , there is a pleasant drive from the town of Pemberton : the Karri Forest Explorer . The Parks and Wildlife Service ( DPaW ) publishes a brochure and map that is essential for planning your Karri Forest Explorer Drive . Sections of the drive are on unsealed roads : any SUV , AWD or 4WD will handle these with ease , except where indicated .
If you are travelling with a large caravan in tow , the most convenient place to camp with full facilities is the Pemberton Caravan Park . The Big Brook Arboretum campground can accommodate caravans and provides toilets and picnic tables . Of course , you can join or exit the drive at a number of points , so travellers with tents or camper trailers who want to set-up first and then proceed can also choose Big Brook Arboretum .
