Alexander Morrison National Park, Nature reserve in Shire of Coorow, Australia
Alexander Morrison National Park is a nature reserve in Shire of Coorow covering roughly 8,500 hectares. The land consists of sandy plains and rocky breakaways, with low woodland and mallee scrub spread throughout, especially in the western sections.
The area was protected in 1969 and officially classified as a top-tier reserve between 1970 and 1971. This early action reflected recognition that this landscape needed to be safeguarded.
The Amangu people are the Traditional Owners of this land and maintain their presence here. Their knowledge of the natural environment shapes how the park is understood and valued today.
The park can be reached via Coorow-Green Head Road and offers the best conditions for wildflower viewing between August and November. Plan your visit during these months to experience the peak bloom season.
The park's northern sandplains are poor in nitrogen and phosphorus, which led to the evolution of specialized plant species. These plants adapted to the harsh soil conditions and are found nowhere else.
