Brockman National Park is a national park in the South West region of Western Australia (Australia), 288 kilometres (179 mi) south of Perth and 10 km (6.2 mi) south of Pemberton.
The park, situated on both sides if the Pemberton-Northcliffe road, is predominantly composed of Karri and Marri Forest. The forest understorey is made up of a mix of plants including swamp peppermint, karri hazel, karri wattle and karri sheoak all of which thrive in the damp conditions.
The northern border of the park is the Warren River and the Warren National Park borders it to the west.
No entry fee applies for the park and no facilities are available to visitors.
The name is taken from the nearby Yeagarup Homestead that used to be known as Brockman Station.
Famous quotes containing the words national and/or park:
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
