The town of Denmark is located on the southern coast, 423 km south-south-east of Perth.
The town is surrounded by native woodlands with a wide variety of trees, such as marri, karri, jarrah and red tingle present, the latter of which can reach up to 60 metres in height. The presence of all these trees, within an environment which is substantially untouched is unique. A rare natural wonder is the red flowering gum with its cheerful scarlet blossom.
In spring thousands of different wildflower species can be observed, many of which are unique to the Denmark area.
Rich bird life abounds, and includes splendid blue wrens, emus, ibises, magpies and parrots. Many varieties of reptiles can be found, along with marsupials such as the grey kangaroo, quokka, bandicoot and possum. The abundance of fish in the ocean attracts dolphins and seals, and each year whales visit the Denmark waters during their long journey north.
