Frank Hann National Park

Frank Hann National Park is a nature reserve in Western Australia covering heathland and scrub vegetation across a sandy inland plateau. The landscape opens up with low-growing plants, rocky outcrops, and scattered trees creating an expansive yet intimate natural setting.

The reserve was formally established in 1970 as a protected area, named after explorer Frank Hann who surveyed the region at the start of the 1900s. His expeditions through these inland areas contributed to early knowledge of the landscape.

The Malpa people hold deep connections to this land as its Traditional Owners, and their presence shapes how the place is experienced today. Walking through the reserve offers glimpses of this ongoing relationship with the natural environment.

The park is free to enter year-round, but no facilities or amenities operate within its boundaries, so visitors must come fully prepared with supplies. Bring a location beacon, water, and let someone know your plans before heading into the reserve.

Between September and January, the park bursts with wildflowers including eucalyptus blooms, banksias, wattles, and native feather flowers that dot the landscape. This window offers one of the best times to witness the full colour and variety of local flowering plants.
