Last stop on day 1 of our Denmark (South West Australia) holiday. Elephant rocks and Green's pool are right next to each other, separated by a small headland.
Forgot to mention it on the earlier Denmark entries but the climate on the South-West coast is far more pleasant than in Perth. Instead of the 35-40°C it was a modest 25°C. Average temperature is 16°C in winter to 25°C in summer. I'm sure it gets cooler and warmer than this on occasion but far more tolerable than Perth at the height of summer.
Incredible, large, Elephant-like rocks. Note the Girl sitting on the rock to the left taking a photograph. She is in the foreground so will give an idea of the size of the rocks.
Another view looking down into the peaceful bay sheltered by the Elephant rocks.
Descending the staircase to the Elephant rocks beach.
Apart from small ghecko-like lizards this was the first decent sized one we've seen outside a glass box (it was about 30-40cm long). Doubt it's dangerous but there were no volunteers to try and pick it up.
