Toolinna Cove - WA

Toolinna Cove is a remote, small cove located on the south coast of Western Australia within the Nuytsland Nature Reserve, acting as one of the few breaks in the 200-kilometer-long Baxter Cliffs. It is known as a significant, albeit challenging, 4WD destination and serves as a historically important landing spot for Telegraph Track maintenance during the construction of the 1877 East-West telegraph line.The surrounding area features coastal heath, including the rare shrub Banksia epica, which was first collected at nearby Toolinna Rockhole. The area is also home to a rare, undescribed orchid known as Diuris sp. 'Toolinna' (Cliffs Donkey Orchid).
