Fitzgerald Biosphere Coast

The Fitzgerald Biosphere Coast is situated on the south-east coast of Western Australia, encompassing the three town centres of Hopetoun, Ravensthorpe, Munglinup and the farming community of Jerdacuttup. The region is located on the South Coast Highway 5 hours from Perth, two hours from Esperance and just 3 hours east of Albany. There is an airport located between Ravensthorpe and Hopetoun, which is used by the mining industry with flights to and from Perth.

Two thirds of the Ravensthorpe Shire is natural bushland, made up of the Fitzgerald River National Park, the Ravensthorpe Range and reserves, all of which are rich in geology and native flora and fauna, including many rare species unique to our region. The coastal scenery of Hopetoun and Munglinup is spectacular, grand headlands and pristine beaches unique to the southeast of Western Australia provide the area with a wealth of natural beauty.
