Watheroo National Park

Watheroo National Park is a protected sandplain reserve in Western Australia's Wheatbelt, about 190 km north of Perth in the Shire of Moora. Gazetted in 1969, it covers 44,481 hectares of low heath, scrub and laterite plateau. It is notable for exceptional wildflower diversity in late winter and spring, with more than 600 plant species, and for its remote, undeveloped landscape with unsealed tracks and walking opportunities.

Visitors can expect a remote, undeveloped sandplain landscape of low heath, mallee scrub and laterite breakaways with sandy, unsealed tracks. There are no developed visitor facilities. The main experience is nature-based sightseeing, wildflower viewing in season, short bush walks and 4WD driving on internal tracks. The park is quiet and isolated, with natural vegetation, birdlife and seasonal floral displays as the primary features.

Gazetted as a Class A national park in 1969 to conserve northern sandplain heath and laterite ecosystems of the Wheatbelt. The park protects a representative area of the Geraldton Sandplains bioregion and its diverse flora, which has been a focus of botanical study and conservation since the mid-20th century.

Located on the traditional lands of the Yuat Noongar people. The sandplain and woodland country forms part of Noongar cultural landscape and is valued for its natural heritage, particularly its renowned wildflower diversity.
