Mount Frankland South National Park, Nature reserve in South West Region, Western Australia.
Mount Frankland South National Park is a nature reserve in South West Region, Western Australia, covered with dense forests of jarrah, karri, and tingle trees. The landscape forms part of the larger Walpole Wilderness Area and features multiple trails that wind through varying terrain.
The park was officially established in December 2004 to protect the natural ecosystems of the southwest region. Its creation reflected the need to preserve these important forest areas for future generations.
This place holds deep meaning for the Koonaneerup-Yenkak-Yinninj people who maintain their connection to the land through traditional knowledge. Visitors can find places throughout the reserve that reflect this ongoing cultural relationship.
Visitors can camp with tents or stay in huts at Fernhook Falls Campground for overnight visits. Wear sturdy shoes and bring weatherproof clothing, as the forest paths can be muddy and uneven underfoot.
The reserve is home to three species of tingle eucalyptus trees found nowhere else in the world, distinguished by their massive buttressed trunks. These unusual trees develop their characteristic broad bases only in this specific corner of Western Australia.
