Neerabup National Park
AU
National Park·Undeveloped, Quiet, Raw, Natural
Neerabup National Park is a long, narrow strip of protected bushland situated approximately 27 kilometers north of Perth. Spanning about 12 kilometers, the park remains largely undeveloped, lacking formal visitor facilities to ensure the preservation of its raw, natural state. The area is historically significant, protecting a portion of an ancient Indigenous Australian migration route between Lake Joondalup and Loch McNess. This path is now part of the Yaberoo Budjara Heritage Trail, which honors the traditional movements of the Yellalonga people. Furthermore, the park is recognized as an Important Bird Area, serving as a critical non-breeding habitat for thousands of Short-billed Black Cockatoos.
