Starting from Lamington National Park Road, O’Reilly, this circuit walk takes you deep into the lush rainforests of Lamington park, navigating partly along Albert River and visiting multiple waterfalls and lookouts. Expect to be amazed by the stunning view of the waterfalls and the interchanging vegetation throughout the track. Although the track is roughly 20 kilometres long, it may not feel like it as the tracks are gentle and undulating. When you’re near water, keep an eye out for the native Lamington crayfish, also known as the blue spiny crayfish due to its vibrant blue coloured shell. Other wildlife you can run into in the area are king parrots and dingoes. You’ll be going through some ancient Antarctic Beech trees along with other interesting rainforest plant species. The Echo Point camp site midway is meters away from the same-titled lookout, where you can get exceptional panoramic views to the south. During the day, you’ll be able to see many mountains and hills including Mount Warning, whereas the night offers you an exceptional opportunity for stargazing. Decent(preferably waterproof) hiking boots and gaiters are recommended against the muddy and leechy conditions. Keep an eye out for snakes. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the car park next to the Luisini Winery on Lakeway Drive, Kingsley, this walk takes you on a circuit around Lake Goollelal. The Lake Goollelal Loop is a 4.5 km paved path around this permanent lake. The shared-use path is great for walking and cycling and offers a fabulous natural bushland setting in the midst of suburbia. The lake is surrounded by remnants of fringing paperbark woodland, Jarrah, Marri and Banksia open woodland and scattered Tuart. Many of the trees away from the banks of the lake are not native to the area, but a few large Flooded Gum and Swamp Paperbark trees give you a glimpse of how the vegetation was like back in the day. One of the main features of a walk around Lake Goollelal is the abundant birdlife. The lake, although shallow by world standards, is relatively deep compared with other lakes on the Swan Coastal Plain, and therefore is a haven for waterbirds even during dry summers. The area is also home to oblong turtles and native water rats. There's an observation platform on the western side of the lake where you can view many waterbirds. On the eastern side, there's a plaque commemorating the location of Wesley Mission farm. Reverend John Smithies built this farm in 1844 for Aboriginal people to acquire agricultural skills if they'd like to do so. Nearby is the historic Luisini Winery, which is currently being redeveloped as an educational and heritage facility by the National Trust. You can commence the loop walk from multiple different points and return to your starting location. It is a shared path, giving you the option to cycle. Some parts of the walk are close to busy roads. Keep an eye out for snakes in the warm weather. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
