City of Vincent Wetlands Heritage Trail
The City of Vincent Wetlands Heritage Trail follows the path of past and present wetlands from the northern end at Charles Veryard Reserve, North Perth to Warndoolier - Banks Reserve on the Swan River in Mount Lawley at the southern end. The extensive wetland system to the north of Perth was a crucial part of life for the traditional owners and custodians of this land, the Whadjuk Noongar people. They held significant social and spiritual significance for the Noongar people

Leederville Urban Art Adventure
This is more of an adult walk but if you find yourself needing to entertain the kids in one of Perth's older suburbs challenge them to a game of spotto and see if they can notice the small detail in the public art works they come across. Leederville has a large amount of murals all easily accessible by walking along Oxford Street between William Traylen Park and Richmond Street for the majority of art with a few scattered further along Oxford Street towards Mt Hawthorn where

Wanneroo Cultural and Civic Trail
This small but different heritage trail winds it's way through the old Wanneroo townsite. I suggest you download the brochure to show you where to look for the unique pavers and also to get the background to each marker. We followed the map but found it was much more efficient to read the brochure as it explained exactly what to look for and where to look for the markers. Other heritage trails have interpretive signs along the way which is handy but I found this trail uniqu

White Gum Valley Whimsical Wanderings
We wandered through White Gum Valley on our way to find more street art after discovering all the magical street art in South Fremantle. As we wanted to explore Booyeembara Park as well we parked there and used it as our base. I think this would be a lovely walk for mums and bubs in prams as there are interesting things along the way, including a great little park for toddlers. Starting from the corner of Montreal Street and Stevens Street we headed east along Stevens Stre

Maylands Urban Art
Maylands has a wide variety of urban art ranging from murals to sidewalk art. The Maylands urban landscape along Guildford Road is not particularly pretty but many of the older commercial buildings have had murals painted on their walls making the streetscape considerably brighter and more interesting. We started from the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple on Guildford Road. The temple is usually open to the general public from Tuesday to Sunday however it was closed due to covid

Beautiful Bassendean with Earlsferry Sculptures
We started our walk at Point Reserve which was magnificent in the early morning light. Point Reserve lies across from where the Helena River intersects the Swan between Iho Park and Kings Meadow Reserve on the Guildford side. The riverfront properties here own the land all the way to the river so either side of the reserve is private property limiting access. It is a beautiful reserve to visit for a wander along the river's edge. The river is popular with kayakers and it is
