DRB is heading out of the hills to hold a field trip in Yanchep National
Park.

We are holding this member field trip as part of our 50th anniversary
events.   Despite the sandy soils, Yanchep’s coastal woodlands support a
diverse range of trees including banksia, tuart, marri, stunted jarrah,
sheoak and small pockets of paperbark. During spring, many native flora
species including kangaroo paws and catspaws are in flower.

Shelley Campbell will share her knowledge of orchids and will lead the
group along the 2.6 km Woodlands Walk trail, a Class 2 trail (see pdf).

Visitors and members are invited to explore the trail with Shelley, finding
and identifying some of our fabulous spring orchids.

There is a daily fee of $17 per vehicle to enter Yanchep NP, or you can
purchase a Yanchep NP annual park pass online

Park Pass
for $30 to give you free entry to Yanchep NP for a year.

Details of meeting point to be confirmed on booking. Please consider the
weather and wear appropriate footwear and clothing. Hat and Water essential.

Orchid identification books will be available to use.
