Starting from Walyunga Pool Carpark, Walyunga National Park, this captivating six-kilometre circuit track offers a moderate adventure through diverse landscapes. Following the river upstream to Syd's Rapids before ascending a steep gravel track, you are treated to the scenic beauty of regrowth amidst charred eucalypt trunks, remnants of a past fire. Intersecting with the Echidna and Kangaroo trails, the route unveils nature's resilience and rejuvenation. Encompassing 1,800 hectares of the Darling Range, Walyunga National Park cradles both sides of a steep valley, where the Avon River converges with the Brockman River to form the majestic Swan River. Rich in cultural heritage, the park boasts one of Perth's largest known Aboriginal campsites, steeped in over 6000 years of history. As the river thunders through in winter and gently meanders in drier months, visitors are invited to explore the trail's tranquil woodlands, marked by blue footprints and designed for a counterclockwise journey. Open daily from 8 am to 5 pm, entry to Walyunga National Park is subject to a fee. 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.
