Quinns Coastal Walk

If you hate the crowds along the coast at North Beach but enjoy overlooking the ocean on your walks or rides the coastal path at Quinns Rocks is perfect. A shared use path extends from Rosslare Park at Mindarie and continues northward beyond the Jindalee Beach Shack so there is plenty of opportunity for a longer walk or bike ride. We started our walk from Frederick Stubbs Park where parking is available in the beach car park or roadside bays. Grab a coffee from Quinns Cafe be

Sunset Coast Shared Path -Mullaloo Beach to Whitfords Nodes

With it's long stretch of glistening white sand and gentle waves lapping the shore Mullaloo Beach is popular at any time of the year. With the added attraction of two playgrounds, large green spaces and a variety of places to grab some food this is a great place to start or finish a coastal/beach walk or bike ride. The shared path continues south alongside Northshore Drive to the Northshore Drive Car Park where you might find the James Bean Coffee van. From here the path he

Boorloo Bridge and Heirisson Island (Matagarup) - Perth

Boorloo Bridge opened on December 22, 2024 providing a stunning access way for pedestrians and cyclists from East Perth to Victoria Park via Heirisson Island and parallel to the Causeway Bridge. Boorloo is the Noongar name for Perth and the design of the bridge recognises Whadjuk Noongar culture and the heritage significance of the area. The bridge spans the Swan River (Derbarl Yerrigan) at Heirisson Island (Matagarup - meaning “a place where the river is only leg deep,”).

Point Heathcote - Goolugatup - with Heathcote Pirate Playground - Applecross

We walked this as an extension of our Deepwater Point Two Bridges walk and crossed under Canning Bridge to the northern side of Canning Highway. Parking in this area is somewhat limited so I would recommend this as either a loop walk or a there and back walk starting from Jeff Joseph or Heathcote Reserves, If you are doing a loop it is more scenic walking from the Raffles Hotel towards Point Heathcote as you have city views. As you walk past the Raffles Hotel there are s
