Leaving Hopetoun on the Ravensthorpe Road we turn left into the Fitzgerald National Park. Several kms later we cross the wetland at Culham Beach and enter the Fitzgerald National Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fitzgerald NP follows the coast for more than 100 kms but access from the east via Hopetoun is blocked about 20 kms into the park. To access the western side of the park you must enter via Bremer Bay. That a 300+ km drive around via Ranensthorpe. So we\u2019ll end up missing the western end of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway our drive through the Eastern Fitzgerald, was well worth the $8 entry fee and the drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
