It was named in December 1800 by Lieutenant James Grant after his ship HMS Lady Nelson. It was also the most southern point of Major Thomas Mitchell&#8217;s journey &#8220;Australia Felix&#8221; in 1836.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We visited a couple of places on Cape Nelson as a day trip. There is plenty more left to see.  Part of the tracks here are on the Great  Southwest Walking Track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"The_Enchanted_Forest\">The Enchanted Forest.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Enchanted Forest is a short walk on the steep eastern sides of Cape Nelson, winding its way through a forest of Moonah trees (a type of Melaleuca).

The walk is a flat loop heading out to the sea cliffs on the western side of Cape Nelson, then following the Great South West Walk north for a few hundred meters along the high sea cliffs, before it returns to the car park on a different path through the forest. Its only a couple of kilometers all up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way you pass through several different types of vegitation including some dwarf eucalypt. Its a very good little walk with a guide sheet avaliable and numbered features.<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-1170 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-1170 {
