The Mount Lindesay National Park (English Mount Lindesay National Park ) is a 395 km² national park in the south of Western Australia , Australia .

The park is about 360 km southwest of Perth and is best reached from Denmark, 15 km south . Together with Mount Roe National Park bordering to the west , it is part of the Walpole Wilderness Area . Approximately in the middle of the park is the summit of the 459 meter high Mount Lindesay, the most distinctive elevation in this area. The granite dome was already climbed by the first Europeans who explored this area in 1829 under the direction of Thomas Braidwood Wilson. Wilson named the mountain after Colonel P. Lindesay. Even today, the summit can be climbed in about two hours. The path first leads through a forest of jarrah and karri trees before you come across increasingly barren soils at the foot of Mount Lindesay. A fragile and particularly sensitive plant community, the Little Lindesay Granite Community , thrives here , including shot plants ( Stylidium ), sundew ( Drosera ) and various orchids . Many wildflowers bloom, especially in spring.
