The Karak Bidi is an 11.3km trail that includes views of the Swan River. This highly significant river is woven into the
dreaming stories and song lines of the local Aboriginal people, the Noongar.
This trail links parks and bushland areas across the western suburbs. There are several pinnacles along the route to look out for - these limestone outcrops can still be seen on the steep slopes near the Birdwood Park bushland where the elevated position offers views of the Swan River, Kings Park and Perth City.
This trail is part of the Whadjuk Trail network.
