The Great Southern Region of Western Australia

National Parks of the Rainbow Coast

Our National Parks are our life. Their bio diversity requires our protection and conservation.

When visiting the National Parks you will find opportunities to give back to the land and support it's caretakers. Please give generously, remember you are contributing to the support of an internationally recognised area of bio diversity in Australia.* The Department of Environment and Conservation are the stewards of these lands.

Before visiting these pristine areas, there are a few important things to know. The more knowledgeable you are, the less of an impact you can have during your visit, keeping both the land, and yourself, safe.

Our Joint Responsibility:

  • Dieback is not to be ignored. Be responsible. This fungal disease is deadly to many of our beloved native treed.
  • King Waves / Swells Do not underestimate the power of the Great Southern Ocean. These waves frequently buffet this coastline and can be extremely dangerous. Always watch the Water.
  • These lands are of national significance and the Department of Environment and Conservation are the stewards. Contact the local or regional offices for more information from their website: www.naturebase.com.au
