National Parks & Attractions

The Bibbulmun Track

This world renowned 964km walk trail stretches from Perth to Albany. Many adventurers set aside up to 8 weeks to walk the full length of the track, but shorter walks along the section of track entering Albany are a ‘must-do’ for nature lovers visiting the area. The track is named after an Aboriginal group from an area in the vicinity of Albany and was first conceived in the 1970’s. The track is clearly marked and campsites along the route are no more than a day’s walk apart.

Torndirrup National Park

Located on the coast, south of Albany and Princess Royal Harbour, this park offers some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Australia and is home to The Gap and the Natural Bridge.

Bluff Knoll

Bluff Knoll stands 1,095 metres above sea level and is one of few places in Western Australia where snow occasionally falls. Reaching the peak requires a reasonable degree of fitness and you should expect to be out in the elements, with sudden weather changes possible.

It takes about four hours (weather and fitness level permitting) to complete the six-kilometre return climb.

Jimmy Newells Harbour

A tiny natural harbour named after a fisherman caught in a sudden storm and driven providentially into this shelter.

Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve

Located 35km east of Albany, this un-spoilt coastal scenery provides a vital habitat for threatened native fauna.

Waychinicup National Park

This park covers the lower reaches and estuary of the Waychinicup River,
and a line of granite outcrops extends east to Cheynes Beach.

Stirling Range National Park

The park is one of the worlds most important areas for flora with 1 500 species. More species occur in the Stirling Range than in the entire British Isles and 87 plant species found in the Stirling Range occur nowhere else on earth.
