Join us for a guided walk around Trigg bushland over the unique and ancient parabolic sand dunes, that have been stabilised by a long process of revegetation.

Few examples of this type of landform remain within the metropolitan area. The northern rim of the major Trigg parabolic dune borders Karrinyup Road and reaches its eastern extremity just short of the corner with Jeanes Road. The southern rim borders Jeanes Road. The dunes are composed of white Quindalup sands formed within the last 6,000 years, during a period of rising and falling sea levels. As these dunes advanced they buried the limestone and yellow sands of the 100,000 years old Spearwood dune system. In some parts of the reserve, north of Karrinyup Road for example, Spearwood sands still occur at the surface.

Spot the Quandong trees that are scattered in the bushland, and with Dale Tilbrook, taste their fruits in various condiments and dishes, on site!
