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.
Meeting place: go straight through the roundabout after the entry station until they see a large carpark on the left and we will meet in the carpark. (See map).
