Yondeo trail is a great way to access and explore Wallarah National Park, and a fun route to the coast and Pinny Beach. This walking and cycling track passes through peaceful, shady bushland where a canopy of eucalypts and cabbage-tree palms will keep you almost as cool as the swim you can have at the end. Wildflowers decorate the area in spring, including the purple bloom of the happy wanderer and the delicate flowers of the fairy orchid. Take along binoculars for birdwatching and whale watching and have a picnic lunch with a view.
Access to Yondeo trail is just off the highway, so, even if you're only passing the area, why not park the car, stretch your legs and allow the kids to let off steam on this fairly short hike or bike ride? Yondeo trail leads to Scenic trail, also great for hiking and biking, and Coastal walking track.
There is limited mobile reception in this park.
Remember to take your binoculars if you want to bird watch or whale watch.
