Kwinana Loop Stage 1-2

Starting from Gilmore Avenue, Leda, this walk takes you to Bingfield Road West via the first and second stages of the Kwinana Loop Trail, visiting multiple lookouts and historical features along the way. Explore the first stages of this culturally significant trail that offers you heaps of information as well as exceptional views. Leda Lookout is your first stop, a great spot to pause and take in the peaceful scenery. Next up is the Kaal-Ap/Place of Fire & Sloan's Cottage, where you can learn about Sloan's Reserve's interesting stories. Walley Moort Marlak Miya / The Walley Family Bush Camp will allow you to understand how significant Wilki Karda / Chalk Hill is for the Nyoongar people. Finally, you'll get near 360-degree panoramic views from Wilki Karda / Chalk Hill. Take your time and traverse the same paths that Nyoongar people traversed for over 45,000 years. Dogs are allowed on leash. 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.
