The Bindjareb-Peel Region Geopark

Following interest from local stakeholders and Geoparks WA, the Peel Development Commission implemented a working group to investigate the potential of developing a Bindjareb- Peel Region Aspiring Geopark.

The Peel Development Commission funded local Geologist Sebastian Jones and award-winning Tour Guide Jamie Van Jones, co-owners of Salt and Bush Eco Tours, to research Peel’s amazing natural assets and history to create a report identifying potential sites to include in the Binjareb-Peel aspiring global geopark.

Each site was selected to align with the UNESCO Global Geopark criteria and researched to support their inclusion in the geopark. The report provides an overview of the abiotic (geology, landforms), biotic (flora and fauna) and cultural values associated with each of the proposed sites.
