Yanchep National Park
A national park on Perth's northern outskirts, where you can see wild koalas and kangaroos, visit the Crystal Cave, and take part in Indigenous cultural activities.
Yanchep National Park lies about 50 km north of Perth and is known for its lakes, eucalyptus forests, and limestone caves. A koala boardwalk lets you see koalas in the trees, and herds of western grey kangaroos often gather on the lakeside meadows. The Crystal Cave offers guided tours, and its stalactites sparkle inside. On weekends there are often Noongar cultural performances, where you can learn to play the didgeridoo and throw boomerangs. Park entry is charged per vehicle (about 17 AUD), and the cave costs extra. Driving is recommended, and it can be combined with a Pinnacles day trip.
