Badgingarra National Park, Nature reserve in Shire of Dandaragan, Western Australia.
Badgingarra National Park is a nature reserve in Western Australia featuring gently rolling sandplains and elevated plateau landscapes north of Perth. The park contains different habitats with native vegetation and a range of plant species visible throughout the year.
The park was established in 1973 to protect areas where Aboriginal groups conducted hunting and gathering over many generations. These land management practices shaped the landscape over thousands of years.
The Yued people have deep ties to this land, which holds many plants used in traditional Indigenous practices and knowledge. Visitors walking through the park can see the same plants that have been important to local communities for generations.
The reserve is accessible via Brand Highway and has clear paths for walking through the landscape. Spring months from September to November are the best time to visit, when native wildflowers are in bloom.
The park is home to the mottlecah tree, a eucalyptus that produces larger flowers than any other species in its genus. The reserve also shelters the rare Badgingarra mallee, a shrub found in very few places.
