VIDEO: The magnificent Cape to Cape walk

Share |  

A video tour of Australia's acclaimed Cape to Cape walk offers scenery, sunsets and a sneak-peek into being on assignment for Australian Geographic.

Visit Australian Geographic on YouTube.



While on assignment for issue 98 of Australian Geographic, Andrew captured the stunning scenery of the walk from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leuwin. The track is a well-kept secret — but it's hard to believe it will stay that way for long.

The video introduces a number of Cape locals, as well as the visual wonder of the location. Andrew even documents his own video and photography routines, so we can join him on the journey to create an Australian Geographic cover story.

Trust Andrew with your attention, and you'll be transported to a terrific trek along Australia's unbeatable coastlines.

From the spellbinding sandstone beehives of Purnululu in the Kimberley, to the rugged isolation of the Baxter cliffs and the Southern Ocean, the spectacular scenery in WA is as vast as the state is large. The Cape to Cape track, the arid central deserts of the Nullarbor Plain, the Stirling Range, and the remote Buccaneer Archipelago are just some of the unique sights this state of immense contrasts has to offer.

  • Our accommodation is situated not far from the Cape to Cape Tracks and having spent time on several sections, can atest that what has been captured here is a true depiction of the beautiful pristine environment of the region. Well done on an accurate record of an amazing location. Report

     
  • The Cape to Cape walk truly is one of Australia’s best kept secrets. It will not be too long before the track receives the international recognition it deserves. Visit before the word gets out.
    Smiths Beach Resort is ideally located on the Cape to Cape walking track. Immediately adjacent the spectacular Smiths Beach and a short walk from the extraordinary granite formation, Canal Rocks. To find out more visit http://www.smithsbeachresort.com.au or call +61 8 97501200 Report

     
  • I've done some great walks around the world but this is right up amongst the very very best. I am out on it every day and can attest to it being of Australia's best kept secrets. Most days we see no one. As stunning as the imagery is, they have only managed to capture a select few kilometres of the full 135kms.

    Great to see Jane Scott receiving some well deserved recognition for her efforts in helping to establish and maintain the track.
