Fitzgerald River National Park – Western End

This morning we explored the western end of the Fitzgerald River National Park.

This involved a far bit of driving, most of which was on dirt.  Our first stop was Sepulcralis Hill, where we climbed to the lookout.

The lookout at Mount Maxwell was a short walk, and I am glad it was as the view was not impressive.

We then climbed West Mount Barren, which gave 360 degree views of the national park and beyond. There were also large quantities of wildflowers present, even this late in the year.

We had a picnic lunch with another incredible view at Point Ann.

The Heritage Walk went along the remains of the Rabbit Proof Fence No 2, which originally ran from the ocean at Point Ann, heading north.  The views of the coastline along this walk were again incredible.

Another beautiful day (minus the flies and wind)!
