Cliffs along the Irwin River expose 250 million years of layered siltstone, claystone and sandstone in this park inland from Geraldton near Mingenew — the site of Western Australia's first mined coal deposit. It is best known for everlastings: after good rain, blankets of yellow and pink flowers spread across the valley, some of the finest wildflower country in the northern Wheatbelt. The 3.2-kilometre Plateau Loop climbs through eucalypt woodland to ridge-top views, the short Irwin Lookout trail hangs over the valley, and wedge-tailed eagles and peregrine falcons work the updrafts. Two bookable campgrounds serve overnighters.
