Complete with interpretive notes, our trails will let you take a closer look at the Park’s bushland and wetland areas.
Whiteman
Park has three bush walking trails – Werillyiup, Gooloorto and
Wunanga – that encompass Horse Swamp, Bennett Brook and the Park’s banksia woodland respectively.
Each
bush trail encompasses a different and valuable facet of the wonders
of the bushland, and all are well signposted. As the native flowers
and trees seasonally transform the landscape, displays of colour are
ensured no matter what the season, allowing you to enjoy our bush
walks any day of the year.
To help you explore these areas, and to ensure that you gain the most from the experience, we have developed a series of interpretive notes that highlight what you can expect to see and where to find it. These are available free of charge at the Visitor Information Centre.
NOTE - Our bush trails are closed on days when Total Fire Bans, shire Movement bans and Catastrophic Fire Danger Ratings for the Swan sub area of the Swan Inland North fire district - these closures are provided in the stories of our Facebook and Instagram pages wherever possible.
Gooloorto Trail
Gooloorto is the Noongar name for the flooded gum (Eucalyptus rudis).
The start of this trail is an excellent spot to meander along the true start of Bennett Brook. From winter to spring, when the water is flowing
and the chorus of frogs can be heard, the trail can become inundated but in summertime it is ideal
for wandering in the dappled shade along the drying water course,
inhaling the scent of the gum trees overhead.
Follow the red-topped poles to enjoy the extension of this trail.
A new map and trail notes will be coming soon.
PLEASE NOTE - Our bush trails are closed when the fire danger rating is Severe and above (or when the Fire Danger Index is 50+).
