Brockman National Park
Brockman National Park is a national park in the South West region of Western Australia, south of Perth and south of Pemberton. The park, situated on both sides of the Pemberton-Northcliffe road, is a eucalypt forest composed of karri ''Eucalyptus diversicolor'' interspersed with marri ''Corymbia calophylla''. The forest understorey is made up of a mix of plants including the swamp peppermint '' Taxandria linearifolia'', karri hazel, karri wattle ('' Acacia pentadenia'') and the karri sheoak '' Allocasuarina decussata '', all of which thrive in the damp conditions. The northern border of the park is the Warren River and the Warren National Park borders it to the west. No entry fee applies for the park and no facilities are available to visitors. The name is taken from the nearby Yeagarup Homestead that used to be known as Brockman Station.

Pemberton, Western Australia
Pemberton is a town in the South West region of Western Australia, named after original settler Pemberton Walcott. History The region was originally occupied by the Bibbulmun people who knew the area as Wandergarup, which in their language meant 'plenty of water'. Following an expedition to the area in 1861 by Edward Reveley Brockman, his brother-in-law Gerald de Courcy Lefroy and his uncle Pemberton Walcott, in 1862 Brockman established Warren House homestead and station on the Warren River; Walcott, after whom the town would be named, established ''Karri Dale'' farm on the northern outskirts of the later townsite; and Lefroy established a farm and flour mill on Lefroy Brook (the current site of the 100 Year Forest). Walcott remained until at least 1867. By 1868 he was at Dwalganup Station near Boyup Brook, and in 1872 ''Karri Dale'' was for sale, marketed as a "four-roomed brick cottage, stockyards, cattle shed, good garden - stocked with fruit trees and permanent running ...

Allocasuarina Decussata
''Allocasuarina decussata'', commonly known as karri oak or karri she-oak, is a species of flowering plant in the family Casuarinaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is an understory tree in karri forest but also occurs as a stunted shrub in places like Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Range. Description Karri oak usually grows as a medium tree high, although in harsh, exposed situations in places like the top of Bluff Knoll it is a stunted shrub or poorly-formed tree in shrubland. As with other members of the family Casuarinaceae, the foliage consists of wiry green branchlets called cladodes with rings of minute leaf scales. In this species, the branchlets are about long, roughly square or X-shaped in cross section, with four scale-teeth in each ring. The rings of scale-leaves are apart. Separate male and female flowers form on the same individual plant. The fruiting structure is a woody cone, shaped like a short cylinder with its diameter roughly eq ...

Warren Bioregion
Warren, also known as Karri Forest Region and the Jarrah-Karri forest and shrublands ecoregion, is a biogeographic region in southern Western Australia. Located in the southwest corner of Western Australia between Cape Naturaliste and Albany, it is bordered to the north and east by the Jarrah Forest region. Its defining characteristic is an extensive tall forest of ''Eucalyptus diversicolor'' (karri). This occurs on dissected, hilly ground, with a moderately wet climate. Karri is a valuable timber and much of the karri forest has been logged over, but less than a third has been cleared for agriculture. Recognised as a region under the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA), and as a terrestrial ecoregion by the World Wide Fund for Nature, it was first defined by Ludwig Diels in 1906. Geography and geology The Warren region is defined as the coastal sandplain between Cape Naturaliste and Albany. Extending from the ocean to the edge of the Yilgarn craton p ...

Warren National Park
Warren National Park is a national park in the South West region of Western Australia, south of Perth and south of Pemberton. The park is dominated by old growth karri trees, some of which are almost in height. Some of these trees were used to act as fire lookout towers built during the 1930s and 1940s. The Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree is situated within the park and was pegged in 1988 as part of Australia's bicentennial celebrations. This is one of three trees found around Pemberton that tourists are able to climb. The Warren River flows through the park along with many smaller creeks and gullies. The river is plentiful in trout and marron which can be caught in season. See also * Protected areas of Western Australia Western Australia is the second largest country subdivision in the world.

Karri Hazel
''Trymalium odoratissimum'' is a plant species found in Southwest Australia. Taxonomy This description was published in 1838 by John Lindley in '' Edwards Botanical Register'', who notes that Robert Mangles, of the colony's Mangles family, provided a flowering specimen to a horticultural society in London. Two subspecies are recognised: *''Trymalium odoratissimum'' Lindl. subsp. ''odoratissimum''.
