Mount Richmond National Park

Mount Richmond is an extinct volcano surrounded by low, flat land. The volcano is covered with a layer of sand blown inland long ago from Discovery Bay. Forest, open heath and scattered swamps cover the park, which is noted for its flora and fauna.

Things to Do

The park is ideal for a picnic lunch. Use of private gas barbecues is encouraged, as is removal of any rubbish. There arealso a variety of walks including:

• Benwerrin Nature Walk - 1 hour.
• Noels Walk - 1 hour (the last section is fairly steep).
• West Walk - 1 hour (may be wet in places in winter and spring).
• Ocean View Walk - 1 hour (views of Cape Bridgewater and Discovery Bay).
