Yanchep National Park

TIME : 2016/2/18 14:20:48

The woodlands and wetlands of Yanchep National Park are home to hundreds of species of fauna and flora, including koalas, kangaroos, emus and cockatoos. The free Wild About Walking brochure outlines nine walking trails, from the 20-minute Dwerta Mia walk to the four-day Coastal Plain walk. Register with the park centre for longer walks.

The park features splendid caves, which can be viewed on 45-minute tours (adult/child $10/5; five per day). On weekends at 1pm and 2pm, local Noongar guides run excellent tours on Indigenous history, lifestyle and culture (adult/child $10/5), as well as didgeridoo and dance performances (adult/child $10/5).
