Boranup is a locality in the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River in the South West region of Western Australia.[3][4] It is the site of a large coastal dune blow out known as the "Boranup sand patch" as part of the Boranup beach,[5] and the site of a former M. C. Davies timber company mill.[6] The sand patch area and sand blows affected the alignment of the Busselton to Flinders Bay railway.
It is a karri forest remnant area[7] in the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, as well as a Western Australian State Forest area.[8][9]
Boranup Forest contains many limestone karst caves, including Nannup Cave and Dingo Cave.
The Boranup area includes private property, a cafe and a gallery, a maze and a scenic drive.
