It’s well worth spending another day in Fitzgerald River National Park, exploring the western end from Bremer Bay. Allow one hour to reach the western entrance to the park (via Quiss Road and Pebalup Drive) from Ravensthorpe, or one and a half hours from Hopetoun. Make regular stops along the drive trails within the park to marvel at the unique curly grass, pincushion hakea, baxters banksia, cauliflower hakea, ashby's hakea, coneflowers, starflowers, smokebushes and numerous orchids. Choose from a number of walk trails leading from the Twertup Field Study Centre, or take in the spectacular coastal views from West Mount Barren. If you time your visit to the park between July and October, head for Point Ann instead – it’s one of just three special locations in Australia where southern right whales come to calve in large numbers. For a unique overnight experience, stay at the accommodation in the heart of the park, or camp out at Point Ann or Hamersley Inlet. Otherwise, return to Bremer Bay.
