Stirling Range National Park
Stirling Range National Park, national park in Australia
Description
Stirling Range National Park is a large protected area in Western Australia featuring rugged peaks, valleys, and diverse plant life. The park contains thousands of wildflower species, some found nowhere else, along with forests of tall native trees like jarrah and marri.
History
The area was explored by Europeans in the early 1800s and named after the Scottish city of Stirling. Over time, its ecological importance was recognized and it became a protected nature reserve.
Culture
The Stirling Range has long held special significance for the Noongar people, reflected in their stories and traditions connected to this land. Visitors today can learn about this cultural connection through local information and guided walks.
Practical
The park lies a few hours south of Perth and is reached by major roads and smaller routes. Visitors should bring good walking shoes, water, and sun protection, and carry navigation tools and emergency supplies if planning longer hikes.
