Easy trail with modified or hardened surface, and gentle hills or occasional steps. Clear directional signage. No bushwalking experience required. May be suitable for assisted wheelchair users (if ramps are provided at steps).
This is an all-access trail that takes you through a unique piece of Western Australia's history. The historic lime kiln site was said to be the beginning of the cement industry in Western Australia.
This walk takes you through natural vegetation that has had time to regenerate since operations ceased over 100 years ago. The remnants of infrastructure can be found along the trail both in the woodland and the wetland areas.
About 100 metres into the walk is the turning circle. A small clearing flanked with wooden seating and six stunning artworks that represent the six Noongar seasons by local artists Gloria and Karrie-Anne Kearing.Â

This really is a hidden gem in Yalgorup National Park. The trailhead is just off the main highway, easily missed but I encourage you to add it to your itinerary next time you visit the area. The trail highlights include: the original lime kiln that was used during a short-lived commercial lime venture in the early 1920s, abundance of peppermint and melaleuca trees, the former lime marl settling ponds and old infrastructure on the edges of Lake Clifton.
Trails are free and offer countless benefits to our community, from fostering fun and fitness to encouraging social connection, exploration, and personal challenges.
