At 300km long, the Blackwood River is the largest in the South West region. Starting near Wagin, it flows through Bridgetown and Nannup before opening into the Southern Ocean at the Hardy Inlet in Augusta. During the drier months, the still river and inlet are ideal for a paddle and spot of bird watching. Around Nannup, the river widens into Barrabup Pool, the perfect shaded place for a cooling dip on a hot summer’s day.
