Fitzgerald River

By World Wild Places

May 21^st, 2018

Fitzgerald River National Park offer truly unique endemic flora, rugged coastline and beautiful mountains. There are numerous short trails and 2 longer ones that :

- Mamang trail from Point Ann to Point Charles ( 31km return)

- Hakea trail from Cave Point to Quoin Head ( 46 km return )

During early winter and spring whales are nursing near Point Ann. I have been told, that whales come so close to the shore, it is even possible to see them give birth.

The view from Fitzerald Beach toward Central Wilderness Peaks is absolutly stuning. This point is at Mamang trail near Point Charles.

Reef Beach Dunes

Reef Beach Dunes are 220 meters high above the ocean. I found them using satellite google maps, and get there using bicicle. It was about 8 km ride and walk from Borden-Bremer Bay road on something you can would call the way, but not the road. There is an actual 4x4 track to the dunes from Bremer Bay, but it is much longer.

From the photos that are online it seems that Reef Beach Dunes are popular among people with dirt bikes, but there is only a few photos from the area. So I felt like a real exprorer when was walking in the dunes. A bit of rain in the morning add some textures to the sand and adding even more drama to already spectacular scenery.
