About the Park
|
If you enjoy spending your summer days lazing by flowing rivers, relaxing on balmy summer evenings or recreating beside the tranquil waters of a lake or river, then Wellington National Park is for you. You will equally enjoy the National Park if you prefer wondering through the forest on sunny winter days or snuggling at night by a cosy log fire the cooler months.
Wellington National Park consists of 17 000 hectares of Western Australia's unique eucalypt forests of jarrah, marri and Karri (blackbutt). The icon and central feature of the Park is the beautiful Collie River Valley with its ancient valley gorge below the magnificent lake situated behind the Wellington Dam. It offers a range of recreational pursuits including camping, fishing, swimming, rafting, Mountain Biking, star gazing, canoeing and bush walking. Experience the breathtaking views of Wellington National Park across calm waters and down the picturesque valley from the dam lookout. While visiting you can also stay a while longer at Honeymoon Pool and Potters Gorge, both popular and beautiful camping sites. Pets are prohibited in the National Park, to protect the abundant Flora & fauna & as well as your pets as baiting programmes are active in the park. |
