environment and learn more about these fascinating

Spot the western grey kangaroo
Yanchep National Park is home to western grey kangaroos
which can be seen in abundance early and late in the day.
At other times they shelter from the sun so you might be
lucky enough to see them resting in shady areas.
Stretch out on a walk trail
The park has nine walk trails designed to suit a variety
of age groups, interests and fitness abilities. They range
from short trails of 500 metres to challenging trails of 55
kilometres. Each trail has been selected to showcase the
unique biodiversity of the northern Swan Coastal Plain.
Information about the walks is available at McNess House
Visitor Centre.
Picnic spots galore
All of the barbecues in the park are free. Please follow
the instructions carefully and remember to reignite as
required. You’ll see many birds while you’re picnicking in
the park but please don’t feed them.
