Whadjuk Trails History of the Trail Network The Whadjuk Trails were initiated in 2002 by local Friends groups to link Yange remnant bushlands in Perth’s Western Suburbs. It was their vision to run a series of annual walks along Kep Bidi sections of the trail network to encourage the community to use and appreciate their local bushland areas. The Yange Kep Bidi is made up of 22km of trails linking wetlands and Bushland areas, Iconic and Heritage Trails, using both paths and roads. Due to numerous access points, the route can be walked in sections, allowing all to enjoy the diverse l a n d s c a p e and t h i s (INDIAN OCEAN) WARDUN Pelican natural environment.
