Fitzgerald River, Biosphere reserve and river in Western Australia

The Fitzgerald River spans across 329,882 hectares of land containing 1,748 plant species, representing 20% of Western Australia's documented flora.

The area was first documented by Dutch explorer Pieter Nuyts in 1627 and received national park status in January 1973.

The Noongar people maintain connections to the Fitzgerald region through traditional land management practices and ecological knowledge systems.

The reserve includes marked trails, camping facilities, and observation points for viewing Southern Right Whales from July through October.

The park contains populations of heath rats and dibblers, two species previously declared extinct before their rediscovery within the reserve.
