Torndirrup National Park 

Location off Frenchman Bay road, thirteen kilometres from Albany, Torndirrup National Park covers an area of 3,868 hectares with bitumen road access to and throughout the park.

The Park, best known for its spectacular coastal features as it covers 3,906 hectares across the southern section of Princess Royal Harbour, is one of the busiest national parks in the State, with nearly a quarter of a million visitors a year.

The Heathlands put on good displays of wildflowers in spring, a woodland of peppermints occurs throughout the park, and south of Vancouver Peninsula, Karri forms a forest of medium height in combination with swamp yate. The rare flowering-plant Adenanthos Cunninghamii, the Albany Woollybush, has been found in the park.

Habitats for wildlife in the area range from low heath and shrub on the infertile sand near the coast to low Banksia forest, swampy areas, and tall Karri and Jarrah-Marri forest.
