Avon Valley National Park

Avon Valley National Park, located approximately 80 kilometers northeast of Perth, offers a serene escape into nature's beauty. The park's diverse landscape features high granite outcrops providing panoramic views over the Avon Valley, deep river and stream valleys, and native forests of jarrah, marri, and powderbark trees. Wildlife enthusiasts can observe kangaroos, wallabies, chuditch, and echidnas, while springtime brings a vibrant display of wildflowers. The park offers four basic campgrounds equipped with picnic tables and toilets, ideal for those seeking a wilderness experience. Notably, the area served as a hideout for the 19th-century bushranger Moondyne Joe. The best times to visit are during spring, autumn, and winter, as summer temperatures can be quite high.
