Wellington National Park

Located in Western Australia, Wellington National Park is a vast 17,000 ha (42,000-acre) terrain that features stunning hilly landscapes intersected by numerous streams.

The park has a range of natural attractions; the Collie River valley cuts across the middle of the park while the Wellington Dam is also located within it. Geographically, the park is in the Yilgarn Craton geological province, which is composed of metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks and large areas of granite.

Wellington National Park features three excellent camping options. Potter's Gorge is a popular camping area located at the edge of a lake, providing facilities for tents and caravans alongside barbeques, picnic tables, and multi-access toilets. Honeymoon Pool is also an excellent camping area, famous for its stunning views of the river bank, which is ideal for swimming and canoeing. The camping facilities provide picnic tables, barbeques, fire pits with firewood supply, and toilets. Additionally, a boardwalk and platform are available on the river bank for easier access, and the location features various walking trails. The area around Wellington Dam boasts a kiosk and an excellent camping area.

The park increased in size from 4,300 ha (11,000 acres) to 17,000 ha (42,000 acres) in 2001 to implement the Labor state government's "Protecting our old-growth forests" policy. Prior to being established formally as a national park in 2000, the park's land was privately owned by the Worsley Timber Company. In December 2004, the park included an additional 13,745 ha (33,960 acres) of State forest No. 25,
