The town page now opens with a colored-pencil drawing of the granite boulders at Greens Pool in William Bay National Park, with the Southern Ocean beyond.

Where the inlet is in its yearly cycle — closed by the sandbar, or in the winter opening window — with the last confirmed opening and the official channels for the current status. It shows the usual pattern, not a live water reading.

Whether the Hay tip is open right now, its hours and the cash-only Peaceful Bay site's, how to pay, what each takes, plus the Tip Shop and Containers for Change.

Parks and Wildlife's upgrade works run late July to December 2026: Elephant Rocks beach is expected to be closed for the duration, while Greens Pool stays open as the new boardwalk is built. The works are due to finish before the Christmas holidays.

Denmark's dark winter nights and the solar maximum are the best aurora-australis window in a decade. The new tool blends NOAA's space-weather model, the cloud forecast and the hours of real darkness into a calm nightly verdict — with honest south-coast framing: face south over the ocean, and your camera will see it before you do.

The day's Fire Danger Rating and Total Fire Ban status for the Stirling Coast Fire Weather District — which covers Denmark and Albany — straight from DFES's Emergency WA feeds. It sits beside the burning-period calendar: the calendar tells you which period applies, this tells you what the fire authority has declared for today.

First tools for the Shire of Denmark: a date checker for whether you can light a fire (with the Total Fire Ban channel), a beach-crowding guide for Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks, and a who-to-call directory.
