The Bramley National Park (English: Bramley National Park ) is a national park consisting of several parcels north and east of the city of Margaret River in the southwest of the state of Western Australia , Australia . Part of the park is north of the Margaret River within walking distance of the city center on the other side of the river. The Bussell Highway runs through two parts of the park, with the Ten Mile Brook Dam in the southeast .

The area was declared a national park in 2004.

The national park is characterized by a diverse flora and fauna. Among other things, the common ringbuck , the large brushtail , the small short-nosed bag , the crayfish Margeret River Hairy Marron and various cockatoos are proven . There are many karri , marri and Jarrahbäume , and spring blooming wildflowers. In addition, the Aborigines are deeply rooted in the area.

There is a 26-kilometer network of hiking trails for visitors and other trails for mountain bikers . The river attracts swimmers and canoeists . The former Wharncliffe Mill sawmill now serves as a bush camp with a campsite, cabins and lodge.

Bramley National Park became particularly popular in the early 2000s as a tourist attraction for mountain bikers in Western Australia who rode the area cross-country. This led to ecological damage with soil erosion , destruction of natural watercourses and plants. Therefore, a project was implemented for a nine-kilometer bicycle path, which ensures that the national park can be used safely by mountain bikers. The new path was completed in November 2016. It lies north of Carters Road and west of Bramely Brook and crosses both the state forest and Bramley National Park.
