About this park

There are no visitor facilities in Preston National Park, however the Bibbulmun Track (a long distance walk trail) passes through the western side of the park, providing opportunity for bushwalkers to experience some of the Old Growth Jarrah forest and beautiful wild flowers - most of which bloom in Djilba and Kambarang.

Safety information

Plan when to visit. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!

Plants, wildlife and fungi

The park is dominated by Jarrah but has a mix of forest types including old growth Jarrah, tall open Jarrah/Marri, and swampy Banksia woodlands. The eastern part of the park is open Jarrah forest and Wandoo woodland but there also are dense shrublands in the valley floors which provide suitable habitat for native species such as tammar wallabies and woylies.

Visit the Atlas of Living Australia for a list of species recorded in Preston National Park.
