Yanchep National Park, Nature reserve in Perth region, Australia.
Yanchep National Park is a nature reserve north of Perth featuring wetlands, limestone caves, and open woodlands where kangaroos and koalas roam freely. The park has nine walking trails of varying lengths and offers guided cave experiences with impressive rock formations to explore.
British officer George Grey documented the limestone caves in 1838 during an expedition through the region, sparking European interest in the area. His accounts led to further exploration and the eventual development of the site.
The Wangi Mia Meeting Place shows how the Noongar people connected with this land through ceremonies and knowledge of plants and animals passed down over generations. Visitors today can witness traditional dances and hear stories about the country that shaped their culture.
The nine walking trails range from short strolls to longer hikes and suit different fitness levels and time available. Wear good footwear and bring plenty of water, especially on warm days when exploring the park.
Crystal Cave was discovered in 1903 and remains the only show cave near Perth, featuring striking limestone sculptures beneath the ground. Guided tours run multiple times daily, allowing visitors to walk through these underground chambers and see the formations up close.
