Easy track
Starting from the Wadjuk Car Park, West Perth, this circuit walk takes you to the southeastern parts of Kings Park, visiting the Flame of Remembrance and the State War Memorial along the way. Situated in the city, you can have the best of both worlds: urban scenery on one side, majestic marri and jarrah trees on the other. It is also a great walk to explore the botanical gardens, and there are interpretive signs about the plantation, lookouts and Indigenous stories. The starting point is a short walk away from the city centre and is also reachable via public transport. Dogs are allowed but on leash. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
