Learn moreAbout Augusta Heritage Trail
The easy 1.5km Augusta Heritage Trail passes 5 historical sites or points of interest along the way including the Georgiana Molloy Memorial Park, the site of Albion Cottage, The Pioneer Cemetery, the RSL War Memorial and Jays Beach Shelter, built by the Leeuwin Lions Club.
If you follow the trail in an anti-clockwise direction, you will be able to take in the amazing view out over Flinders Bay and the Great Southern Ocean, as you walk down Chaudiere Street. It includes a variety of trail surfaces including pavement, a sandy bush track and some steps.
This trail is at the junction of the Pelican and Whale Trails and makes a pleasant additional loop if you are wanting a longer walk.
