Ghost House Walk Trail, Yanchep National Park

The Ghost House Walk Trail takes you on a journey to discover the natural and cultural history of the wilderness areas in Yanchep National Park, an hour north of Perth. The moderate 9.2 kilometre loop Top Trail allows trail users to encounter the sights and sounds of the pristine wetlands and discover the historic remains of the "Ghost House". Join the trail via the broad-walked Wetlands Trail. Pristine wetlands, tuart forest, Banksia woodlands and coastal heath provide plenty of interest and variety. The trail ends at Cabaret Cave and is a short walk back to the hub of Yanchep where you can stop for a coffee, refreshing ale or lunch. One of the draw cards of Yanchep is the koala boardwalk. Koalas are fussy eaters and only eat certain types of eucalyptus leaves. On the trail you pass through the koala feed plantation. Turn this into a two-day walk by taking your swag and spending a night under the stars at Shapcotts campsite, nestled under a grove of grand old Tuart trees. Yanchep National Park is a hub of walk trails of varying length and difficulty. Please sign in and out before adventuring on the longer trails.
