Avon Valley National Park

TIME : 2016/2/18 14:21:04

Featuring granite outcrops, forests and wonderful fauna, this national park is accessed from Toodyay and Morangup Rds. The Avon River flows through the centre of the park in winter and spring but is usually dry at other times.

The park is the northern limit of the jarrah forests, and the jarrah and marri are mixed with wandoo woodland. Bird species include rainbow bee-eaters, honeyeaters, kingfishers and rufous treecreepers. In the understorey, honey possums and western pygmy possums hide among the dead leaves, and skinks and geckos scuttle about.

There are camp sites with basic facilities (eg pit toilets and barbecues).
