This is a must if visiting the area. Such a beautiful walk and dog friendly which is hard to find in a very national park area. A hidden gem and very worth while you can walk the full trail or shorter walks available. Lovely waterfalls and a great cafe serving lovely coffee in the park area 5 stars from me

We started the trail from behind the Leisure Plex, and it took about 40 minutes to reach the top. The path is well defined but steep. There is an installation at the top, with artworks and information. And amazing views!!!

What a pity we were there when it was an extremely windy day that we could not fully appreciate the beauty of The Fascine. We started at the Playground area and waited for the sun to set before walking further down to where the HMAS Sydney II Memorial is. The sunset was glorious throughout The Fascine. Just love the view of the coconut trees lining up The Fascine which reminded me of my childhood holidays to Penang where I was born (I was brought up in KL). Did not get a chance to walk on the 2.5km Old Tramway Walk Trail. Would have been nice to go for a run too from the end of The Fascine where the boat harbour is to the Heritage Precinct.

Jacob's Ladder featured in a dream in the Bible when Jacob escaped his vengeful brother Esau. In Perth, Jacob's Ladder is a long straircase that climbs from the Swan River foreshore to Mount Eliza, from whence one can get an expansivfe view over the Swan River. Altthough it looks like a long staircase, anyone of average ffitness can make the climb as long as sthey take it easily. Climbing Jacob's Ladder that "Perth people" do at least once in their lifetime.
6. Big Swamp Walk

We were not sure where the entrance was and happened to park at the entrance where the paperbark trees were. Well maintained boardwalks passing the paperbarks until we reached the lookout shelter to sight the birdlife. We later found out that the main car park is where the Wildlife Park is situated. The whole loop is 2kms long and is totally flat and suitable even for prams/wheelchairs. Hence, the Big Swamp Walk is for everyone to enjoy. We saw black swans, purple swamp hens, some other water birds and a few duck varieties. Being Parkrunners, we were also excited to find that the Bunbury Parkrun's home ground is at The Big Swamp Park. We would like to come back in a different season of the year or perhaps, even at dawn or dusk to observe other species of wildlife.
