Starting from Digby Drive, Rottnest Island, the Ngank Wen Bidi trail encircles the stunning West End of Rottnest Island, offering a glimpse into its pristine beauty. Encounter a myriad of marine creatures and avian inhabitants amidst some of the island's most secluded shorelines. Named by the Whadjuk Noongar people, Ngank Wen translates to "the place where the sun is waning or dies", embodying the allure of the setting sun. Lady Edeline Beach, shrouded in tranquility, and Marjorie Bay, a hidden gem, beckon visitors with their untouched charm. The ethereal turquoise waters and panoramic views of Eagle Bay add to the trail's enchantment. At the Cathedral Rocks Seal Viewing Platform, marvel at the playful New Zealand Fur Seal Colony. The West End boardwalk offers a glimpse of Cape Vlamingh's splendour while safeguarding nesting seabirds. You can see some humpback whales as they migrate. Witness the awe-inspiring beauty of Rottnest Island's southern coast, where the land meets the limestone cliffs and azure sea. The aforementioned West End boardwalk and the Cathedral Rocks Seal Viewing Platform are wheelchair-accessible highlights that can be accessed by bus. Let us begin by acknowledging the Whadjuk Noongar people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
