Mount Maxwell Lookout

Starting from the car park off Devil's Creek Road, Gairdner, this short return walk takes you to the summit of Mount Maxwell and back. Supposedly named after George Maxwell, this summit offers you a panoramic view of the coastal region to the west of Fitzgerald River National Park. Discovered by Maxwell himself, the Royal hakea is among the plant species you can observe here. If you come in spring, spectacular wildflowers will welcome you. Please clean the equipment and shoes off at the beginning and the end of the walk to protect trees from Phytophthora dieback. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in the area. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Safer Bushwalks

• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
