Stokes National Park

Located in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia, Stokes National Park is a picturesque park worth visiting. The park sits 538 km south-east of Perth and is 80 km west of the coastal city of Esperance. Stokes Inlet is one of the highlights of the park and is its most popular point of interest. The inlet got its name in 1848 when John Septimus Roe, the Surveyor General of Western Australia, explored the area and named it after John Lort Stokes – a crew member aboard the HMS Beagle

Each part of the park has its own unique features and attractions. The park sits on a relinquished pastoral lease that was previously known as Fanny Cove Station. In 1951, the station became Young River Station, and by 1973, it was turned into crown land and national park status. The park also features the Moir homestead ruins, which dates back to 1873. This historic establishment was located at Fanny Cove and was included in the heritage list by 1993. Experience the captivating beauty of Western Australia's Stokes National Park.
