It's easy to see the waves coming in across the
Great Southern Ocean from here.
Tower Hill is located a few kilometres north of Greens
Pool and Elephant Rocks and
Cove which are at the eastern end of the William Bay National Park.
The trail is part of the Bibbulmun Track which crosses the mail
road before you reach the Greens Pool car park. There
is a small vehicle area on the right of the road. Cross the road
and begin the ascent. It is a strenuous climb and can take several
hours round trip.
There is a toilet and water at the shelter provided just west of
the large stones at the top of the hill. You can see them if you
zoom in to the satellite map at the bottom of this page.
The calm waters of Greens
Pool, down below, are very clearly seen in this video of Elephant
Rocks and Greens Pool. The video starts with the backs of the
elephants, and pans west (right) to Greens Pool.

PARKING:
West: From the Tower Hill Access Ramp, you can walk
or drive across Tower Hill and sand dividing the ocean
from Parry Inlet and on to Mazzoletti Beach.
East: From Greens Pool, walk West along the coast
onto the beach.
SAFETY:
NO SWIMMING. Large waves and rips.
We had fun. A nice challenging and scenic walk and a beautiful
view of William Bay from above.
