It was lovely to wake up just after sunrise and hear the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks right next to the [eafl id=”4309″ name=”Big4 Dongara Denison Beach Holiday Park” text=”Dongara Denison Big4 Caravan Park”]. We wandered out to the beach just after sunrise, before most people were up, and the footpath along the shore was just so calming and relaxing. It was a great way to start the day!<\/p>\n

Dongara \/ Port Denison is located on either side of the Irwin River mouth, with Dongara on the south and Port Denison on the north bank. The caravan park we stayed at is south of the river, and towards the southern end of Denison.<\/p>\n

We had no plans to see anything here as we had to return the camper van in Perth by 4pm, but as we made our way out of town, we spotted the Fishermen’s Memorial Obelisk.<\/p>\n

This monument was first in 1869 as a navigational aid after the loss of the Brigantine Leander which was shipwrecked nearby on November 11, 1853. It also serves as a\u00a0tribute to the Beagle and her crew who surveyed the coastline of Dongara. Finally, and most recently, it is now a memorial, dedicated to the fishermen of Dongara Port Denison who have lost their lives at sea.<\/p>\n

From this monument, you get a clear view across the harbour out towards the river mouth, South Beach and West Groyne.<\/p>\n
