From Ravensthorpe, journey to Hopetoun and then head west along Hamersley Drive to explore the eastern end of Fitzgerald River National Park – gazetted as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. More than 1,800 beautiful and bizarre species of flowering plants thrive here, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. That’s nearly 20 percent of Western Australia’s entire collection of plant species. Several 4WD tracks and walking trails, such as East Mount Barren and Sepulcralis Hill, lead you to lookouts offering dramatic panoramas of the wild coastline and bushlands beyond. Wildflowers are generally blooming until the end of October, including royal hakeas, qualup bells, sepulcralis, weeping gum, pincushion hakeas, woolly banksia, possum banksia and grevilleas macrostylis, four-winged mallee, barrens regelia, isopogons, verticordias, orchids, tinsel lily, red kangaroo paw, fringed lily, painted lady and oak-leaved dryandra. Camp overnight in the park, return to Ravensthorpe, or stay a night on the coast at Hopetoun to explore more of its 200-kilometre stretch of pristine coastline, including a string of stunning beaches where you can swim, snorkel, surf and fish.
