Situated in the Crawford River valley near Hotspur, about 45 minutes north of Portland, Crawford River Regional Park offers fine views of riverside and valley vegetation and a variety of interesting activities. The Park is 2463 hectares in size.
Flora & Fauna - In the tree canopy, on the ground understorey and on the water surface, many birds can be observed. Southern Yellow Robins, White-throated Tree-creepers and Bronzewing Pigeons live in the wetter forest areas. Galahs, ravens and Gang-gang Cockatoos occupy drier forest areas and various ducks and cormorants frolic on the water.
Away from the damp river bank, higher up the slopes, grow dry sclerophyll forests dominated by Silver Banksia, Beaked Hakea and Austral Grass Trees. Floristically rich heathlands grow in waterlogged undernourished soils and contain plants like she-oaks, tea-trees, rushes and sedges
