Woylie Walk, Dryandra Woodland

The Woylie Walk is an easy loop trail through the Dryandra Woodlands near Narrogin 192 kilometres southeast of Perth. This woodland is a conservation area for rare and endangered animals such as the Numbat, the state's emblem. With more than 25 mammals, 100 birds and 50 reptiles you can be sure to encounter plenty of wildlife while exploring the woodlands. The 5.5 kilometre Top Trail starts at the Old Mill Dam and weaves its way through woodlands of wandoo, powderbark, kwongan heathlands, jarrah and stands of sheok. Look for woylie diggings in the area and numbats and echidnas searching for termites. The Woylie Walk is just one of a series of great walks and trails for you to enjoy by foot, bicycle or in the comfort of your car. The trails vary in length from one to more than 25 kilometres and one of the drive trails features audio stories of the area through FM radio at six different stops. Visit the heritage listed Lions Dryandra Village for accommodation and visit the Barna Mia animal sanctuary on a delightful night time journey to see five threatened mammals and two conservation-dependant animals native to Dryandra at close range.
