Hike the Nyoonga peoples’ ancient walk on the Yaberoo Budjara Trail and experience the last campsite of the 10th Light Horse Unit.

In the hinterland, gently rolling hills and acres of market gardens are the backdrop for peaceful Koala at Yanchep National Park - Photo by MADCAT Photography 2005 drives and picnic spots. In spring natural trails of wildflowers outline expansive walks and drives to the north and east. Right through the year there is a variety of fresh produce available including strawberries (May to November), mangoes (December to March), fresh olives and olive oil (April to May), avocadoes (July to November) and fine wines.
