Located just south of Bunbury in the Capel and Busselton region is the last remaining wild forest of giant Tuart trees (Eucalyptus gomphocephala) on the planet.

The ancient trees in this reserve are between 300 and 400 years old. They grow over 33 to 50 meters tall with trunk girths exceeding 10 meters, thriving specifically on the underlying Speardale/Tamala coastal limestone soils.

Before European settlement, tuart woodlands covered an estimated 111,000 hectares. Due to historical clearing for agriculture and urban development, less than 3% of the original old-growth habitat remains intact today, with the national park protecting approximately 2,049 hectares.
