Yanchep National Park (Yanchep Beach Rd & Indian Ocean Dr) is a stunning bushland and wetland reserve, home to western grey kangaroos and an impressive diversity of birdlife.

The park is also renowned for its remarkable range of native orchids, particularly during the flowering season. Walkers may encounter spider orchids, donkey orchids, bee orchids, and purple enamel orchids, among many others. These delicate blooms thrive in the park’s varied habitats, from open woodland to damp wetlands, making every walk a unique discovery.

Local guide Shelley Campbell will share her first hand knowledge of the orchids found along the trail, explaining their distinctive shapes, colours, seasonal patterns, and fascinating pollination methods. This experience offers a deeper appreciation of Western Australia’s exceptional floral biodiversity.

Visitors are encouraged to stay for a picnic. and explore the park’s additional attractions after the walk.
