This Noisy-scrub Bird Walk provides a nice easy stroll while enjoying a picnic at Drakesbrook Weir, a popular swimming, fishing and kayaking spot, just east of Waroona.
The trail over looks the weir and has seating at regular intervals along the trail for anyone who wants to sit peacefully and enjoy the views.
At the end of the walk there is a monument to commemorate John Gilbert, pioneer ornithologist and James Drummond, colonial botanist who passed through this area on November 3rd 1842 on an expedition to Augusta.
It was at this spot they observed a small bird with a sweet sounding call that was later named Atrichornis Clamosus or Noisy Scrub-bird. The bird had not been observed in the area for many years, until 1997 when 6 birds were released into the wild at a site approx 10 km from the Noisy-scrub Bird monument at the end of this little walk trail.
Dogs are permitted along the trail, but not on the grassed picnic or beach areas.
