Lesueur National Park

A few kilometres inland from Jurien Bay is Lesueur National Park. It was gazetted in 1992 after a community backlash against plans to mine the area. It includes two mesas, Mount Lesueur and Mount Michaud, and supports over 900 species of plants. The park is named after Charles-Alexandre Lesueur a natural history artist aboard the Naturaliste on Hamelin's 1801 expedition.

We visited the park about ten years ago and at that time I was overwhelmed by the stunning variety of plants and their amazing flowers. This time we were just a few weeks early to see the plants at their best but I still found a number of beauties. The shrubby heath (called Kwongan) is almost of uniform height.

Superb shots, and what a good man you have there. I guess it was something to do while waiting for you.
