Description:After winter rains and during spring, the park is transformed by an annual display of wildflowers. Blankets of yellow and pink everlastings can be seen along with other colourful varieties, showing off some of the best wildflowers in the Northern Wheatbelt. The park is rich in history and geology as the place of the first mined coal deposit in Western Australia. Exposed bands of coal seams can still be seen, along with siltstones, claystones and sandstones that stripe cliff faces and reveal 250 million years of ecological history. There’s no shortage of walking trails and lookouts at the park. The 3.2km Plateau Loop Trail starting at Miners campground will lead you through ecologically important eucalypt woodland for the wheatbelt area, towards a plateau ridge with expansive views. At Irwin Lookout and Riverbend you will find more walking trails, some great vantage points of the park and information on the native flora and fauna.
Usage Restriction:No dogs (or other pets) allowed in this park. Coalseam Conservation Park is approximately 30 minutes drive from Mingenew on Coalseam Road. There is 4km of unsealed road and it is suitable for all vehicles. However, the Shire of Mingenew closes the road when heavy rainfall makes it unsafe.
