The Mamang Hike in Fitzgerald River National Park is a two day overnight hike that traverses Western Australia’s spectacular southern coastline in an area renowned for its flora and fauna, comparable to the Galapagos Islands in diversity. It is amazing.

This hike is fantastic for slower hikers: at 15.9 km each way, with little elevation gain, you’ll have plenty of puff and time to savour the wildflowers, views and wildlife.

You can shorten the return hike to around 12 kilometres by returning along the beach to Point Ann or St Mary Inlet campsite. Once you cross through the dunes there’s 7 kilometres of beach walking – but there is plenty of variety, and whales to see at the right time of year, so a good way to vary the return hike.

The Hakea Trail in Fitzgerald River National Park traverses rugged and spectacular southern coastline in an area renowned for its flora and fauna. The world heritage-listed Fitzgerald Biosphere, with the 3,300km2 park at its heart, contains over 2,000 plant species plus dozens that occur nowhere else. If you’re a nature-lover visiting Western Australia, don’t miss this park.

Pounding surf, clifftop views and deserted beaches on the Hakea Trail from Cave Point to Hamersley Inlet.

Hamersley Inlet to Whalebone Hut has more expansive and stunning coastal clifftop views, interspersed with isolated sandy beaches. Some beaches have fascinating rock formations to create a new scenic experience for the day.

Done as an easy out and back from Whalebone Hut, this section boasts more huge coastal views interspersed with amazing wildflowers. You’ll also have time to enjoy the secluded beaches at Whalebone and/or Quoin Head.
