Frankland, also known as 'The Frankland River Valley', is one of Western Australia's best kept secrets, with rolling hills, rich and productive farming land, natural forest and bush abundant with unique, native wildflowers. Frankland is located between Manjimup and Mount Barker and is just over four hours drive from Perth.
Mt Frankland's birdlife
The 30,830 hectare Mount Frankland National Park has a rich array of forest birds, from eagles to colourful fairy wrens and robins. Short walks in any part of the park should reveal at least 20 species at any time of the year. The best times for birdwatching in Mount Frankland National Park are spring and early summer, when birds are most active and often in full song. Although the park has never been fully surveyed for birds, more than 50 species are likely to occur including 28 parrots.
