Fitzgerald River National Park

The pristine wilderness of Fitzgerald River National Park is perfect for anyone with a love of nature and a thirst for adventure. Go bushwalking, camping, canoeing, fishing and whale-watching. It’s recognised as one of the most diverse botanical regions on earth with around 1,800 species of flowering plants alone. In spring, the landscape is dotted with colourful wildflowers including Banksias, Hakeas, Bottlebrush, Feather flowers, Quaalup bell and many others. Fitzgerald River National Park is made up of coastal hills collectively known as the Barrens, interesting spongelike cliffs that are made of soft rock formed millions of years ago and featuring the fossils of sea sponges. From the cliffs of Point Ann see the southern right and Humpback whales migrating along the coast in winter. Fitzgerald River National Park is about a two-hour drive north east of Albany. Campgrounds are located on the western side at Saint Mary Inlet and on the eastern side of the park at Four Mile Campground. Camp fees apply.
