Coalseam Conservation Park

Coalseam Conservation Park is a protected conservation park located about 33 kilometres north-east of Mingenew in Western Australia's Mid West region, on the banks of the Irwin River. It is notable as the site of Western Australia's first coal mine and for its dramatic river cliffs exposing Permian coal seams. The park is renowned for its spectacular spring wildflower displays, with carpets of everlastings, and offers walking trails, lookouts, picnic areas and seasonal camping.

Visitors can expect a semi-arid river gorge landscape with steep cliffs along the Irwin River exposing visible coal seams, flat-topped mesas and open shrubland. In late winter and spring the park is covered in extensive wildflower carpets, particularly pink, white and yellow everlastings. Visitors can explore short walking trails, cliff-top lookouts over the river, the historic coal mine site, picnic areas and a seasonal campground. Facilities are basic and the environment is natural and remote.
