Greater Hawke National Park, Nature reserve in Shire of Nannup, Australia.
Greater Hawke National Park is a nature reserve spanning approximately 14,000 hectares of protected forest in Western Australia. The landscape consists of jarrah, marri, and peppermint trees that line Carey Creek and surrounding woodland areas.
The park was established in 2004 when Western Australia's Parliament designated it as a Class A Reserve. This creation was part of a broader effort to protect multiple forest areas across the state.
The Bibulman people are the traditional owners of these lands and maintain deep ties to the forest environment. Visitors walking through the park experience places that hold meaning rooted in thousands of years of Indigenous presence.
Two campgrounds offer basic accommodation within or near the park for visitors who wish to stay overnight. From these locations, you can access walking trails that lead through different parts of the reserve.
The reserve includes Goblin Swamp, an area featuring twisted paperbark trees with distinctive spiral shapes. Walking trails guide visitors safely through this unusual natural formation to observe it up close.
