Wooditjup National Park, Nature reserve in Margaret River, Australia.
Wooditjup National Park is a nature reserve in the Margaret River region of Western Australia, covering forest land with diverse tree species like karri, marri, and jarrah. Trails and cycling paths crisscross the area, with the most extensive route reaching Ten Mile Brook Dam.
The area was placed under protection in 2004 by the Department of Parks and Wildlife to safeguard local ecosystems and native species. This conservation action reflected broader efforts across the region to secure forest habitats.
The Wardandi people have lived on and with this land for generations, and their knowledge shapes how the park is cared for today. Walking through these forests, you experience a place where Indigenous connection to nature remains visible and important.
The trails are generally suitable for different fitness levels, though longer routes require more time and stamina. Wear sturdy footwear and bring water, especially on extended walks through the forest.
A brick chimney from an old mill stands along one of the walking trails, marking where industrial activity once took place. This remnant offers a glimpse into how the landscape served different purposes before becoming protected forest.
