Description

The Yaberoo Budjara Heritage Trail begins at the bottom of Neil Hawkins Park on the shores of Lake Joondalup with a trail sign identifying the start. The trail runs through Yellagonga Regional Park, Neerabup National Park and onto the northern terminus in Yanchep National Park.

Highlights of this route are the sighting of kangaroo, emu and black cockatoo and many floral species. The route can be quite exposed and has Aboriginal and historical significance and is based on local Whadjuk Noongar elder Yellagonga's tribes' movement track. Their track linked together the linear lakes of the coastal plain, and the same track was later used by Europeans as a stock route.
