Beelu-Nationalpark

The Beelu National Park is a national park in the south west of the Australian state of Western Australia, about 30 km east of the center of Perth and about 8 km southeast of Mundaring. The park is part of a group of national parks, which are summarized as Parks of the Darling Range, and was formerly known as the Mundaring National Park.

The Mundaring National Park was established in 1995 as part of the protection strategy for primary forest of the Government of Western Australia. 2008, the park was renamed in recognition of the former Aboriginal ownership rights to this area. The name ' Beelu ' is derived from the Noongar word for ' river' or ' stream '. The Beelu were the original inhabitants of the region, which was limited by the Helena River, the Swan River and the Canning River.

The park contains a rich ancestral flora, eg Eucalyptus trees of the species Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata ) and Marri ( Corymbia calophylla ), Zamia, Bull banksia ( Banksia grandis), Sheoak and grass trees ( Xanthorrhoea ).

Facilities

The park is equipped with toilets, wood stove grills and picnic tables. There are a large number of hiking and biking trails and two tent sites.

A visitor center, the Perth Hills National Parks Centre is located in the park and you can get from 10.00 bis 16.00 clock clock information and soft drinks there. A viewpoint is located in South Ledge and offers a view over the town of Mundaring Weir and Lake CY O'Connor.

The greatest oak in Western Australia can be found in Fred Jacby Park.
