Statham’s Quarry Walk

Starting from a car park on Lascelles Parade, Gooseberry Hill, this circuit track lets you visit Statham's Quarry, the Beyond Blue Painted Tree, and the Zig Zag Railway. Embark on a captivating adventure through Gooseberry Hill National Park on the enchanting Statham's Quarry Walk, a popular circuit track nestled in the picturesque Perth Hills, beckoning with promises of breathtaking vistas and historical wonders. As you meander through the landscape, immerse yourself in the rich history encapsulated by Statham's Quarry, once a bustling hub for Perth's street paving materials in the early 1900s. Today, the quarry stands as a testament to its storied past, attracting adventure seekers eager to explore its rocky cliffs through exhilarating activities like rock climbing and abseiling. Delve into the historical allure of the disused Zig Zag Railway, an iconic relic of the region's timber transportation legacy, as you traverse the winding paths of this captivating trail. Be sure to keep an eye out for the subtle grey markers that guide your path as you traverse along the dirt tracks, loose gravel, and smooth bitumen. Let us begin by acknowledging the Whadjuk people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
