Thistle Cove in Cape Le Grand National Park isn't just any bay, it's a slice of coastal paradise steeped in history and natural marvels. Named by Captain Matthew Flinders after the ship's master John Thistle back in 1802, this spot offers more than just stunning views. Imagine strolling along the shore, soaking in the coastal breeze while marveling at the 'whistling' rock that adds a touch of whimsy to the scenery.

What makes Thistle Cove truly special are its hidden treasures like small freshwater wetlands teeming with unique plant and animal life. For me, it was a chance to escape into a world where the echoes of Wudjari culture still resonate through the land, adding a deeper layer of meaning to the experience.

Whether you're spreading out a picnic blanket, exploring the intriguing rock formations, or simply listening to the soothing rhythm of wind and waves, Thistle Cove invites you to unwind and connect with nature's wonders.
