Description
A wild and remote wilderness.
Mount Roe National Park was established in 2004 as part of the Walpole Wilderness and covers 127,726 hectares. It encompasses a mosaic of rivers, creeks, wetlands, shrub and heath lowlands and old growth jarrah forest.
The Frankland River passes through Mount Roe National Park on its way to the coast.
Mount Roe itself, a large granite outcrop, was named by Dr Thomas Braidwood Wilson in 1829 after the Surveyor General of Western Australia, John Septimus Roe.
This park is managed to protect its wilderness values and there are no recreation sites within it.
