Wildlife
A lot more animals to see from about Northcliffe onwards.

Advice for Others
Have a pair of old crappy shoes/runners waiting for you at Northclie Visitor Centre. Wear them on the Pingerup Plains and the other flooded areas prior to Denmark so your boots stay relatively dry. Bin the old shoes when you get to Denmark.
