If you're also looking at west of
Bremer Bay and areas suggested by Go-N-
Grey, Cape Riche (drive to the coast from Wellstead) is a community run campsite (cheap but limited facilities) on a a lovely Bay.
The old Quaalup
Homestead is being developed for accommodation and camping - right on the edge of the Fitzgerald. All the literature says no caravans in the Fitzgerald NP, due to narrow roads, so somewhere close would be good for day trips if you are interested in this park -
"Surrounding the inlets of the Gairdner, Fitzgerald and Hamersley Rivers, between
Bremer Bay and
Hopetoun on the South Coast of
Western Australia, lies one of the most diverse botanical regions in the world. More than 1800 beautiful and bizarre species of flowering plants, as well as a myriad of lichens, mosses and fungi, have been recorded in
Fitzgerald River National Park. This represents nearly 20 per cent of the total number of plant species in
Western Australia, in an area that covers only a tiny fraction of the State."
Something flowering year round, and whale watching in season.
