Learn moreAs you wander and explore the Bushland Nature Trail, you will see unique Western Australia trees including tuart, jarrah and marri scattered throughout the bushland. Banksias, sheoaks and other small trees and tall shrubs make up a middle storey with a diversity of low, beautifully flowering plants forming the understorey. There are plants in flower all year round, the peak between July and October.
The trail starts at the Botanic Garden carpark, a beautiful open Mia Mia structure marks the entry with a mosaic depicting the Menzies Banksia, or Banksia menziesii. The statement draws upon the key architectural elements of the temporary shelters built by Nyoongar people. Mia mias were traditionally made from grasstree spikes and branches that were shaped into a beehive form. They provided shelter for those travelling between hunting grounds.
Seasonal free guided walks along the nature trail and through the Botanic Gardens are offered by Kings Park Volunteer Guides. Check out the website for further details: https://www.kingsparkguides.com.au/join-our-guided-walks/

We love to hear from people who've been on our Western Australian trails, so it would be most appreciated it if you wanted to leave a review.
Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
