Noongar Kaatdjin Bidi – Noongar Knowledge River Path Tour

The Noongar Kaatdjin Bidi Trail starts at the Boola Bidi Dreaming Centre, next door to the Stirling Cottage Gardens precinct. The trail crosses the Harvey River and goes under the South Western Highway underpass, taking in the views along the river and Noongar art and interpretive signage describing the 6 Noongar Seasons. The trail passes a lovely, shady, open space where you can stop for a picnic or return the same way.
