Walking is a year round activity. Bushwalkers of Western Australia Inc (BOWA) based in Perth has a complete annual programme. In Winter (May to October) longer walks of up to 20km in length are undertaken. These require a full day and most of the information about walking presented here applies to these walks. From time to time the Winter programme will include, for variety, a shorter half day walk. In Summer members maintain fitness by shorter walks around the Perth environs which are completed before midday. On almost every Sunday of the year it is possible to sample the experience of walking with our club. How do I get started?
A medium grade walk of approximately 13 km in Yanchep National Park through coastal plain vegetation. Panoramic views, limestone outcrops and the chance to see some wildflowers, including the unique Yanchep Rose.
National park parking fees apply.
Meet at Whitfords station at 08:45 am for a 9:00 am departure to Yanchep National Park for the start of the walk. If going direct to Yanchep please park in the car park at the front of the Yanchep Inn near the Koala enclosure.
Bring water, morning tea and lunch.
