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:
“In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation’s history.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“and the words never said,
And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
—Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
