Quokkas and Bandicoots

By Linda Tancs

Quokkas and bandicoots are two marsupials that call Waychinicup National Park home. Located in Western Australia, the park extends from Normans Beach and the Waychinicup River mouth to Cheynes Beach, not far from Albany. The area boasts dense vegetation, a haven for threatened species like scrub birds, western whistlebirds and whipbirds. The inlet of the camping area has a river with polished granite rocks on both sides, transforming an ordinary stream into a stunning landscape with plants found nowhere else. Take a coastal walk along Normans Beach East or Normans Beach West and enjoy the stunning scenery.
