Perth's Natural and Cultural Meeting Place
Located only 45 minutes north of Perth’s city centre you’ll soon understand why Yanchep National Park attracts over 240,000 local, interstate and international visitors each year.
Take part in a guided tour of Crystal Cave, Aboriginal cultural experience (subject to availability), or a leisurely boat tour on Lake Wagardu.
Enjoy BBQ and picnic facilities, row boat hire, scenic walk trails, koalas, kangaroos and an abundance of other native animals and plants in one of the state’s oldest national parks.
Nestled in tuart and banksia woodlands, the park is home to many different water and bush birds including grebes, swans, pelicans, cormorants, egrets, kingfishers, parrots, wrens and honeyeaters, to name a few. Endangered Carnaby’s black-cockatoos are a spectacular daily sight. Western Grey kangaroos are commonly seen on the walk trails or grazing on the picnic lawns and golf course.
