Starting from the car park off Onslow Road, Shenton Park, this one-way trail takes you to Birdwood Parade Reserve, visiting many parks and gardens along the way. Embark on the Karak Bidi, named after the majestic Black Cockatoo, situated on the traditional Whadjuk Noongar land. This trail offers enchanting sights of the Swan River, known as Derbal Yarigan, intricately woven into the ancestral stories and songlines of the local Noongar people. Connecting various parks, bushland areas, and iconic heritage trails, the Karak Bidi showcases several local landmarks, including limestone pinnacles dotting the landscape. As you traverse the path, you'll be met by elevated views of Kings Park and Perth City from Birdwood Park bushland. Immerse yourself in Noongar culture, characterised by a profound spiritual bond with the land. Enjoy the dog-friendly route, shaded by indigenous trees teeming with vibrant birdlife. With multiple access points, the trail allows for exploration in sections. Given Perth's summer temperatures, remember to carry ample water, sunscreen, and a hat for a comfortable journey. 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.
