Trails WA supports the seven principles recommended by Leave No Trace Australia for minimising your impacts when using the trails.
Learn moreThe trail is one of the many walk trails located within Yanchep National park north of Perth.
A visit to Yanchep National Park is a great family outing providing a unique experience of Australia's natural beauty within a thoughtfully programmed and managed environment. It is one of the shortest walks that offers a perfect introduction of nature to your youngsters, and with its flat 500m disabled access circuit that can be accessed from Boomerang Gorge carpark it is just right for everyone that wants to be out and about. The best season to visit Yanchep NP is during the Autumn, Winter and Spring months.
'Dwerta Mia' is an aboriginal expression for 'the house of the wild dog'. History states that this place was not entered by Aboriginals guiding early European explorers as they believed that the place was not only inhabited by dingos (i.e. wild dogs) but also by evil spirits. The walk can be entered from the Boomerang Gorge (which is also a great picnicking spot) where you walk between impressive cliff formations and amazing greenery, where you can meander through the collapsed cave system. The trail marker is also a boomerang. The Dwerta Mia walk trail enters into the Caves walk trail at the end.
Even though the trail itself is well signposted once you are on it, please make sure you pick up a map for the national park at the entry station as there are many trails in this area and it might be difficult to locate the start and endpoints of trails.

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.
