Project Description
You won’t believe your eyes.
Remote and beautiful
The Francois Peron National Park is where those who love the raw beauty of Australia’s wilderness can see the striking red cliffs contrasted with blue water and white sand often depicted by artists and photographers.
The 52,500-hectare park is named after a French zoologist, who accompanied an expedition there in 1801. Now under the careful protection of the Department of Parks and Wildlife, it is considered a precious piece of Australia, home to many rare and endangered species.
It’s hard to imagine that it was a sheep station, and even more difficult to envisage what life would have been like in such a remote spot. You can get a taste by visiting the old homestead. While there, grab the opportunity to enjoy a dip in the “hot tub”, which draws water from an artesian bore more than half a kilometre deep.
Beyond the homestead, access is by 4WD or boat only, adding to the sense of wilderness adventure.
