Korung National Park, formerly Pickering Brook National Park,[2] is a national park in Western Australia. It is located 26 kilometres south-east of Perth,[3] on edge of Darling Scarp overlooking the Swan Coastal Plain.
The park was designated in 2004.[1] It was formerly known as Pickering Brook National Park until 2008. It adjoins Midgegooroo National Park on the south.
Western portions of the park lie in the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion. The portion of the park east of the Darling Scarp lies in the Jarrah Forest bioregion.[4]
There are numerous walk trails through the park. The Munda Biddi Trail, a 1000-kilometre bike trail, runs through the park.[3]
