Sepulcralis Hill Lookout

20 min to 40 min

Starting from the car park on Hamersley Drive, Hopetoun, this return walk takes you to Sepulcularis Hill and back. A relatively short walk, starting 175 metres above sea level, you can see different views of the East Fitzgerald National park, which are three peaks of Whoogarup and the other three peaks of the Barrens. Different kinds of plants can be found along the path such as heaths, rushes, banksias and the weeping gum found along this trail, after which the path was actually named. You might want to bring sunscreen and water and mind the loose rocks particularly on the way down. Unfortunately, no pets are allowed. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

East Mount Barren

2.2 km return

1 h 30 min to 2 h 30 min

East Mount Barren

1 h 30 min to 2 h 30 min

Starting from the car park off Hamersley Drive, Fitzgerald River National Park, this walk takes you to the summit of East Mount Barren and back via the East Mount Barren Track. Towering over a landscape of rugged beauty, endless horizons and countless varieties of wildflowers, East Mount Barren is a fantastic little gem. The trail up East Mount Barren is a short but challenging climb through a series of different landscapes and spectacular views. The trail commences on a timber boardwalk that protects the recovering scrub. The gentle boardwalk ends at some point, and you're left with a kilometre-ish walk/scramble on quartzite and sandstone. Try to pause every once in a while to admire the scenery and the ancient rocks you're walking on. With its close proximity to both the coast and several notable mountainous features, there is no shortage of viewpoints to admire as you climb up. The climbing is broken up into stages and each section offers something unique. The first section requires you to clamber up a set of rocks. Then, you'll find a gap that lets you proceed to the second section, which is relatively flatter and more of an open area. The section of the path near the summit looks like a rock wall, however the path leads through clefts in the rock onto the third and final section. The narrow passage leading to the summit requires a tiny bit of scrambling but isn't overly challenging, and the breathtaking views from the summit are well worth the effort. Some parts of the track (especially near the start and the end) are slippery, rugged and steep. Also, keep an eye out for loose rocks. There are many unfenced cliffs here. Prickly shrubs can become annoying as well if not careful. Lastly, keep in mind that the temperature and the weather conditions change as you get higher, so come prepared.

No Tree Hill

5.9 km return

1 h 30 min to 2 h 45 min

1 h 30 min to 2 h 45 min

Starting from the car park on John Forrest Road, Ravensthrophe, this walk takes you to No Tree Hill, which is 270 metres above sea level and offers open views of Phillips River Valley to Culham Inlet and Eyre Range. This walk allows visitors to observe the wildlife, diversity of wildflowers and how both are ecologically complimenting each other. The wild birds in the area include New Holland and tawny-crowned honeyeaters, which help with pollination. The diverse range of plants in the area has evolved as well; different types of plants and trees have shapes and textures, which allow them to thrive during hot, dry summers. There can be long steep sections through the walk. A moderate amount of fitness is advised. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Hakea Trail

23.3 km oneway

6 h 30 min to 11 h

6 h 30 min to 11 h

Starting from Cave Point car park, Hopetoun, this multi-day walk takes you on a coastal walk in Fitzgerald National Park, visiting a number of beaches. Named after the Royal Hakea plant that is prevalent in this area, the Hakea walk is accessible from a number of points along its route and can be completed in sections if visitors prefer. The pristine beaches are one of their kind, and the rock formations scattered along the coastline will be a visual feast for walkers with their different colours and shapes. There are panoramic views of the ocean just before the shoreline covered with native plants. The texture of the walk differs in certain places, and there are steep sections. It is also required for walkers to enter the area after they clean their shoes to prevent contamination. Bring extra water as there is a small amount of water available at the Hamersley Inlet site only. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
