Starting from Bicton Quarantine Park, Bicton, this walk takes you on a stroll alongside the Swan River, acknowledging the Aboriginal Heritage. You can enjoy this great serene walk as you learn about the historical background of the area. Jenna Biddi Yorga means 'women’s feet walking on the path' in Whadjuk Noongar, and the area was acknowledged as a women's area in the past. The area provided the Nyungar people with a variety of food and resources. They believed the river was created by the Waugal rainbow serpent in the dreaming. Both men and women are invited to this area to pay their respects. There is also a men's trail you can visit, which is on the northern side and reaches through the sand bar that connects both said walks. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wadjuk Noongar people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
