Walks around Quaalup Homestead
in the Fitzgerald River NP
Our Nature Walk (photo left) with botanical signs gives guests a good introduction to the unique Flora of the Fitzgerald River National Park.
It offers magnificent views over the valley in which the Retreat is situated and West Mount Barren.
There
is also a lookout tower to climb ( at your own risk!) and
enjoy the views.This walk takes about 45 minutes
and can be
extended up the ridge. This Ridge Top Walk offers
great views and a different vegetation and takes about 1.5 to 2
hours return from the Retreat.Our new favoriet is the
Quaalup Gorge Walk
it takes you to a great variety of flora and lanscape. It ends on
top of a beautifull quartzite outcrop with great view and
windshelter.
There
are many other walks around Quaalup and in
the Park, some along the coast around Point Ann, one leading
to the remains of the Rabbit Proof Fence, or around Mount Maxwell,
12 km from Quaalup.
Twertup(4WD access), a Field Studies Centre and old Spongolite Quarry also has some good walks.
Information on walks in the area is available
in your accommodation and at reception
