Starting from the car park next to McNess House Visitor Centre and Gift Shop, Yanchep, this walk takes you to the Woodlands Circuit. This walk is a small treasure for families and children, especially if they want to experience nature as much as possible. There is an excellent variety of wildlife, including native birds, parrots, lizards, and you can even see kangaroos. Additionally, the flora is comprised of orchids, kangaroo paws, cat's paw and a wide variety of trees. The walk is not short and suitable for most fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
