Australia's newest national park will protect endangered species

There is a new national park in Western Australia.

The Blue Mountains, Daintree, and Uluu-Kata Tjua national parks are some of the first stops for travelers who want to experience the country's unique and abundant wildlife. A new national park in Western Australia is trying to attract more nature lovers and some of the country's rarest species.

The Dryandra Woodland National Park is located two hours south of Perth and has nature reserves and animal sanctuaries. It's the first national park to be created in Western Australia's agricultural Wheatbelt region, which is where visitors flock to see the famous Wave Rock.

One of the trails that highlights the aboriginal heritage of the area is already a popular destination with hikers and nature lovers.

There are blue-breasted fairywrens in the dryandra woodland.

Dryandra is home to around 24 mammals, 98 birds and 41 reptile species. It's an important area for some of Australia's rare wildlife, including the numbat, chuditch, and woylies. It's also home to a predator-proof animal sanctuary called Barna Mia, where visitors can engage with wildlife in their natural habitat, as well as campgrounds, an accommodation site, and driving and hiking trails.

A plan to create a national park in Western Australia has been in the works for more than a decade, according to a spokesman for the department.
The creation of the park increases opportunity for new initiatives such as Aboriginal involvement and developing new cultural and tourism small business opportunities for the local community, as well as expanding the land for conservativism.

"The creation of this new national park will better protect the woodland's unique native species, while also offering wonderful outdoor recreational opportunities for visitors and the local community," said environment minister.

The new national park is within a day's travel from Perth and will continue to be a popular destination for wildlife enthusiasts, campers and bushwalkers for generations to come.
