Mount Chudalup
D'Enrecasteaux National Park
Directions - From Northcliffe, take Windy Harbour Road south and follow this for 17km until you see the signs for Mount Chudalup. The car park is well signed and a very short drive from Windy Harbour Rd. Once there you will find BBQ & toilet facilities along with an informative trail head.
The Hike - Mount Chudalup was the final destination of my planned two week road trip was just outside of Pemberton in Channybearup (the place of the Channybear but what is a Channybear?). I found a fantastically rustic cottage on a working farm through AirBnB and had three nights to relax and use it as a base to explore some day hikes in the area. My plan after my previous hike at Sheila Hill in Denmark was to stay at Shannon National Park and then do two of the hikes located in the national park the next day but the advice that I received that they were still open was not the case so those hikes will have to wait for another time. With a broken car that didn't maintain speed on any hill meant I had to pick my spots when I could go hiking.
