Denmark's History
The aboriginal tribe, the Noongars, inhabited the area for more than 40,000 years.In 1829 Surgeon Lieutenant Thomas Braidwood Wilson MD, of the Royal Navy became the first European to explore the region, naming the Denmark River (Koorabup earlier named by the aborigines) in honour of a colleague Dr Alexander Denmark. Wilson could not know that in 1895, a town named Denmark would one day rise along side its banks.
Denmark now boasts a population of approx. 4,700 and rising due to the desire of people seeking a 'Sea Change'.
The Coast
Elephant Rocks is located just a short walk to the east to and you’ll see the massive rounded granite boulders which bear a striking resemblance to elephants wading in the water. This location is every landscape artist and amateur or professional photographers dream.
Greens Pool is definitely a national treasure. It is part of a group of spectacular features such as Mad Fish Bay, Waterfall Beach and Elephant Rocks. This area must be the best-kept secret in Australia and would have to be a national treasure.
Greens Pool is protected by a chain of granite rocks that protect it from the huge swells that roll in from the great southern ocean. It really is worth making an effort to see this wonderful gift of nature.
