Starting from the end of Beenyup Road, Karrakup, the Marcora Walk (aka the Byford Hills Walk Trail) takes you on a circuit in eastern Byford, visiting historical sites such as the 1914 brickworks along the way. There might be rather challenging, steep parts, yet the journey rewards you with great views. Named after the local indigenous word for the wet season, Marcora unveils ancient granite outcrops dating back 400 million years. Ascend to elevated points on the trail to behold panoramic views stretching from Kwinana to Perth. Delve into points of historical interest, including an old water tank and remnants of the 1914 brickworks nestled beside the quarry face. Keep your eyes peeled for a diverse array of wildlife, from majestic red-tailed cockatoos to vibrant blue wrens. Amidst the lush marri and jarrah forests, the diverse flora includes grass trees, fringe lillies, myrtles, spring blue lady orchids, and grevilleas. This journey is also dog-friendly. Let us begin by acknowledging the Whadjuk people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
