Trail Information
The Beeliar Woodlands Walks Trail is 4.5km in length. It is an east-west bush corridor which travels between Bibra Drive (Bibra Lake) in the east and Stock Road (Hamilton Hill) in the west along the alignment of the former Roe 8 road reservation corridor. Most of the trail has a limestone path meandering through the bush, with corten steel signs giving way finding and interpretive information. There are seven distinct ecological communities in the corridor, which means a very high diversity of flora and fauna can be viewed along the trail.
Please note that the eastern side of the trail between Bibra Drive and Hope Road (where the Bibool cache is located) is seasonally inundated and may not be trafficable for part of the year (roughly June to October).
Biyara Information
A giant Moodjar WA Christmas tree (Nuystia Floribunda) stands near the crossroads of sandy paths. This hemiparasitic tree lives off neighbours, connected to their roots underground. It is a good metaphor for the interconnectedness of life, especially in the wetlands. Moodjar is important to Nyungar people and associated with the spirits of the departed. This site is close to an important Nyungar men’s ceremonial area. Looking west from Moodjar along the corridor, dwutta (prickly barks) can be found on a slight ridge. While the soil often looks dry, the presence of holly-leafed banksias shows that water is higher in the profile here. Alongside native bracken fern, the invasive weed arum lily crowds the cooler, wetter areas. Koolbardi (magpie) are often seen at this crossroad and nearby splendid blue wrens flit between the spearwood bushes. The triangular shaped pits of quenda diggings can be found, but so too rabbit droppings. Five species of microbats are known in the area and the rare Perth Slider is occasionally seen.
