Fitzgerald River National Park is a national park in the Shires of Ravensthorpe and the Shire of Jerramungup in Western Australia, 419 kilometres (260 mi) southeast of Perth. The park is recognised on Australia's National Heritage List for its outstanding diversity of native plant species, including many plants which are unique to the local area.[2] Although the park only occupies 0.2 percent of Western Australia's land surface, it is home to over 20% of the state's native plant species.[3][4]
There is also an eponymous locality, stretching across the shires of Jerramungup and Ravensthorpe, but the boundaries of the national park and the locality are not identical.[5][6][7]
