Located just 10 kilometres from the centre of Albany, Torndirrup National Park is one of the area's most beloved parks. Boasting a breathtaking coastline where windswept coastal heaths give way to massive granite outcrops, sheer cliffs and steep sandyslopes and dunes, the area is home to a range of vegetation types including peppermint and karri trees and the rare blue tinsel lily. And native animals that are found here include the endangered western ringtail possum, western pygmy possum, western grey kangaroo, quenda and bush rat as well as carpet pythons, tiger snakes, dugites and the rare Main's assassin spider. At the right time of year, spectacular views across the Southern Ocean, which extends as far south as the shores of Antarctica, also reveal whales and seals that sometimes visit the coast.
