Charles Lingo rated Ghost House Walk Trail, Yanchep NP a 4 out of 5
I did the trail anti-clockwise which I think was a better experience than doing it the way it was meant to be done.

Learn moreJoin the trail via the board-walked Wetlands Trail which skirts North Lake and takes you through the wetlands area which is teaming with birdlife. Keep an eye out for the Yanget (bullrush) used by local Noongar people for food.
The Ghost House Walk Trail offers plenty of interest and variety as it passes through tuart forest, banksia woodlands and coastal heath. The trail ends at Cabaret Cave and is a short walk back to the hub of Yanchep where you can stop for a coffee, refreshing drink, or lunch.
One of the drawcards of Yanchep is the koala Boardwalk. Koalas are fussy eaters and only eat certain types of eucalyptus leaves. They are not native to Western Australia and Yanchep is one of the few places you can see them. You'll pass through the koala feed plantation on your way from McNess House to the start of the trail.
Yanchep National Park is a hub of walk trails of varying lengths and difficulty. After completing your walks, take a guided tour of the caves, visit the koalas or enjoy a barbeque in the park among the kangaroos.

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.
