Federation Walkway, Kings Park

Do
you fancy being high up in the tree tops? The LotteryWest Federation
Walkway was opened in August 2003 and has become a very popular
attraction of Kings Park.
The
Walkway is open 9am to 5pm daily and entry is by gold coin donation.
The
Walkway is an easy 30 to 40 minute return walk high up in the Eucalypt
treetops. Take the time to stop at the various lookouts along the
way including the Mount Eliza Lookout which has nice views of the
Mount Eliza escarpment.
Further
along on the Elevated Walkway bridge, enjoy views overlooking the
Swan and Canning River, the historical Swan Brewery Building and
South Perth. Being 16 metres up, you also get a bird's eye view
of other parts of Kings Park.

In
the Aboriginal Dreamtime, according to Noongar culture, the Waugal
"the rainbow serpent" is said to have created the hills,
rivers and lakes and distinctive geographical features as we know
Perth today. The pavement motif on the left depicts a Waugal, Black
Swan, goanna and other birds. The body of the Waugal is said to
be represented by the Darling Scarp, which lies to the east of the
Swan Coastal Plain.
How
to get there:
Drive
down Fraser Avenue the main entrance of Kings Park till you reach
the Fraser Avenue roundabout. The landmark to watch out for is the
Lord Forrest Statue at the roundabout. The closest carpark to access
the Walkway is the Forrest car park.
