1080 BAITING IN KALBARRI NATIONAL PARK:

Please be aware that Kalbarri National Park, both Coastal and Inland areas, are subject to invasive predator control programs which involve the use of 1080. This is a substance that is extremely poisonous to dogs. Other farmland and bushland areas can also use this substance for feral animal control, please exercise caution with pets even outside of National Park boundaries.
