      All abilities access, flat, even, hardened surface with no steps or steep sections. Suitable for unassisted wheelchair users and prams. Clear directional signage. No bushwalking experience required.

At the base of Francois Peron National Park is a scattering of historic sheep station buildings and equipment that have stood the test of time in s harsh environment. This short, flat and easy 600 metre walk trail shows the visitor, through interpretive signage, what station life was like during the time before the north peninsula became national park.

The hot tub has gas barbecues nearby - a great place to relax after the trail.

Just 10km out of Denham on the Monkey Mia road is a relic of Shark Bay's pastoral heritage. The walk trail links old station buildings with interpretive signage along the way. The information centre tells the history of the station and the Aboriginal heritage as well as its current use.

Of interest are the well preserved shearers quarters and shearers kitchen. The Peron Homestead walk has a most unusual feature. Weary travellers can soak their bodies in a large hot tub modified from an artesian bore that once watered thirsty stock.
