Pemberton is where the forest meets the desert and it's a blend that's full of fun for everyone. Home of the largest land locked sand dunes in the southern hemisphere – the Yeagarup Dunes – you are sure to find ample opportunities to put the foot down in that 4WD or dune buggy. Needless to say there are also several other wicked-cool things to check out.

A recent increase in nature-based tourism has resulted in an explosion of well equipped tourist facilities complete with various accommodation options. The surrounding forests abound with karri and marri trees. Take advantage of the Pemberton Tramway to check these out. The Tramway meanders in and out through the trees, only to venture out further over trestle bridges spanning rivers and streams.

Pemberton is located near five national parks: Gloucester, Warren, D'Entrecasteaux, Beedlelup, and Brockman National Park. Warren National Park is home to some of the largest karri trees. Contact the Pemberton Visitor Centre.
