Starting from Paruna Sanctuary Car Park, Gidgegannup, Quenda Circuit stands out as the most popular among the trio of trails at Paruna Sanctuary. Renowned for its breathtaking vistas of the surrounding woodland, it remains a top choice for many. Following the green quenda markers, this moderately challenging circuit leads adventurers through the sanctuary's diverse terrain. Vantage points along the way offer sweeping panoramas of the surrounding landscape, encompassing Paruna Gorge, East-West Railway Line, and Avon River Valley. Designated picnic areas with tables and seating provide ideal spots to pause, enjoy a meal, and soak in the scenery. As the trail winds through wandoo scrubland and powderbark, it unveils a tapestry of natural wonders, including vibrant yellow wattle, blankets of wildflowers and multiple orchid species. To ensure a safe and enjoyable journey, it is advisable to carry 2-3 litres of water per person. Additionally, advance booking is crucial to access the trail, as a gate code is required (which will be unique to you), and a nominal $10 entry fee per person applies. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wajuk people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
