Tathra National Park

Tathra National Park is a nature reserve in western Australia covering about 4,300 hectares (10,600 acres). The landscape includes sandplain territories and rocky outcrops with varied plant communities shaped by different elevations and soil conditions.

The area was protected by the Department of Lands and Surveys in 1969 and formally designated as a National Park in 1971. This early recognition established the reserve as an important conservation area in the region.

The Amangu people have long-standing ties to this land, and Kwongan Heath vegetation reflects their ongoing connection to the region. Local communities recognize the area as part of their traditional country.

Access requires four-wheel drive vehicles and careful preparation, as the park has no modern facilities or services. Visitors should bring water, supplies, and fuel before entering.

A species of Daviesia with large red flowers grows only within this reserve and nowhere else on Earth. This plant makes the park botanically special and worth protecting.
