Walpole-Nornalup National Park contains many pristine forests and areas with little evidence of human activity. The rugged coastline, peaceful inlets and rivers are a major feature of the park's beauty. The park is probably best known for the huge buttressed red tingle trees, which are unique to the Walpole area.
The park contains 19 species of mammals, 109 species of birds and 22 species of reptile. The biggest threat to the native animals within the park is the feral cat and fox. These animals are known to kill small mammals, birds and reptiles. The Department of Environment and Conservation is continuality fighting these introduced animals and 1080 baiting is carried out throughout the park.
Whether swollen by winter rains or a placid summer pool, Circular pool is a delightful place to enjoy the forest. You can picnic, marron in season, canoe, take photos or simply experience the magnificent forests.
The Knoll encompasses a scenic drive, lookouts over the Nornalup and Walpole inlets, Rest Point and Coalmine Beach. Its fantastic scenery is perfectly described as where the forest meets the sea. Coalmine Beach is on the south shore of the beautiful Nornalup Inlet. The Knoll is a peninsula, which divides Nornalup and Walpole Inlets and is accessible by the one-way sealed Knoll Scenic Drive. This drive follows the perimeter of the Knoll, offering tantalising views of Walpole and Nornalup inlets.
This a wonderful spot all year round - shady and cool in summer and a riot of colourful wildflowers in the spring.
We have relatives that live in the Walpole area and it is always a joy to go and visit.
Walpole and Nornalup have good caravan parks for all campers, Hotel Motel accommodation, Bed and Breakfast on some nearby properties, and even farm stays for families wanting children to experience the countryside.
Book your Australian holiday through Discover Australia- they have some good deals going most of the year.
Walpole is approximately 355 km south of Perth - the capital of Western Australia.
The new freeway opened last year from Perth to Bunbury makes traveling to the south west of the state more enjoyable.
