The Woylie Walk is a moderate loop trail through Dryandra Woodland, a conservation area for unique,rare and endangered animals such as the Numbat, Western Australia’s emblem. With more than 25 mammals, 100 birds and 50 reptiles you can be sure to encounter plenty of wildlife in this beautiful forest.

Visit the Barna Mia animal sanctuary on a delightful night time journey to see five threatened mammals and two conservation-dependant animals native to Dryandra at close range.

Stay overnight in one of the old mill cottages at the heritage listed Lions Dryandra Woodland Village. 

This is just one of many great walks and trails for you to enjoy by foot, bicycle or in the comfort of your car. The trails vary in length from one to more than 25 kilometres and one of the drive trails features audio stories of the area through FM radio at six different stops. The Ochre Trail, highlights the Aboriginal heritage of the Dryandra area including an ochre pit.

Enjoyed the steep tracks. Makes the walk interesting and a good exercise. Good picnic spot to start and end too. Beautiful bush land.

Just loved Dryandra Woodland. Wildflowers along the Woylie Walk are spectacular in spring. Well maintained track with great directional signage. Campgrounds and other visitor facilities are awesome too as was the Barna Mia night walk. This unique area is more than worthy of National Park status.
