The Yange Kep Bidi, (translation Wetland Trail) lies on Whadjuk Noongar land and meanders around various wetlands located between Claremont and Galup - Lake Monger. At 21km it covers a considerable distance and is a full days walk end to end however you can easily break it into shorter sections and complete loops back to your starting point. Yange Kep Bidi links with the heritage of intersecting or overlapping trails including the Claremont Meanders - Cobblers and Convicts

Bidi Bo Djinoong translates to "trail with views forever" and there are certainly some splendid wardun (ocean) and city views along the way. The ocean and Rottnest Island are woven into the dreaming stories and song lines of the local Noongar people whose culture has a strong spiritual connection to ‘country’. QR codes on interpretive signs along the trail reveal some personal Noongar reflections. Bidi Bo Djinoong is a 6.2km one way trail linking parks and remnant bushland ar

The Whadjuk Network of walking trails lies on Noongar land, connecting remnant bushland areas in the western suburbs of Perth. They offer a unique experience and appreciation for the land with links to iconic, heritage and Noongar trails in the area.

Jutting out into the Swan River at Dalkeith, Mandyooranup (place of banksia) offers wonderful views across Karrakatta Bank to Claremont Jetty and down river to the Point Walter Spit. On a hot day it is the perfect place to catch the breezes coming off the river. The Reserve is quite large with the upper level offering broad grassy areas with mature shady trees scattered around - perfect for a picnic. There is a short scenic drive and limited roadside parking inside the rese

This paved, flat walk is perfect for young and old of any fitness level and offers stunning coastal scenery with well placed benches along the way if you need to rest. It can be walked in either direction and if the full 2km between Cottesloe and Swanbourne is too far you can walk a shorter section. Parking in Cottesloe can be a challenge so we parked on Napier Street and set off to explore the Cottesloe Civic Centre with it's lovely gardens and great ocean views. Convenient

Allen Park is a pocket of coastal bushland in Swanbourne, classified by the National Trust for it's high conservation value. It includes a number of sports grounds as well as 8 ha of bushland surrounding Melon Hill.

Lake Claremont is a beautiful wetland which is a nesting site for turtles, swans and other waterbirds. You can walk or cycle around the lake's 2.5 km flat dual use path. The well shaded path around the lake takes around 45 minutes to walk but with a bird hide, three playgrounds, a cafe and lots of wide open green spaces you could easily make a day of it! We started our walk from the Claremont Golf Course car park on Lapsley Road. The Tee Box Cafe is located within the golf

Luckily it was an unseasonably cool summer's day as this walk was a bit more ambitious than originally thought but the kids (10 and 7) managed it without complaint. I think the drawcard of seeing turtles helped and fortunately the turtle pond did not disappoint. We set off after discovering the Jo Wheatley All Abilities Play Space on the Esplanade at Dalkeith. This is a fabulous fully fenced playground with parking, picnic and barbecues and toilets. We walked towards Mati
