Moderate track
Starting from Gilmore Avenue, Leda, this walk takes you on a circuit around Kwinana via the Kwinana Loop Trail, visiting many lookouts and culturally significant features along the way. This exceptional trail offers great views and experiences while teaching you about the culture of the Nyoongar people. Take a break at Leda Lookout and appreciate the serenity of the environment. Kaal-Ap/Place of Fire & Sloan's Cottage is where you can learn about the two intriguing stories about the reserve. Walley Moort Marlak Miya / The Walley Family Bush Camp is your next stop, and then comes the well-known Wilki Karda / Chalk Hill. Expect panoramic views in nearly all directions, especially the city and the industrial strip. Your last main feature will be the Rodger Hamilton Lookout Tower in Wildflower Reserve. Soak in another set of views, then make your way back to the start. Dogs are allowed on lead. Let us begin by acknowledging the Nyoongar people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
