Yornaning Trails

Catchment Trail - 1.2km

A walk passes the diversion dam that separates fresh and saline water and tall Salmon Gum Forest before entering Wandoo / Rock Sheoak woodland. Salmon gums can be confused with large wandoos, but differ in having shiny leaves (Wandoos are dull), and layered foliage (wandoos bunchy). Wandoo woodland is good country for spotting Rufous Tree Creepers. In late September- Early October look for beautiful yellow Custard Orchid and pink Verticordia flowers.

Tea Tree Trail - 500m
