Hike overview

A short and easy walk in the Beeliar Regional Park to a vantage point giving 360 degree views to Cockburn Sound, and inland surrounding areas.

The Beeliar Regional Park consists of two chains of wetlands comprised of 26 lakes and numerous wetlands stretching 25 kimlometres along the coast and covering an area of approximately 3400 hectares. Mount Brown lies in the western chain close to the Indian Ocean. The wetlands were important camping, ceremonial areas and sources of food for Aboriginal people. The vegetation communities found in the park represent communities once widespread on the Swan Coastal Plain but now significantly decreased. The walk up Mount Brown is only 1 kilometre each way and there is a connecting path to the Lake Mount Brown walk trail from near the top of the hill.

Track grade

Grade 2 (Easy) - A Gentle Introduction to Inclines: Grade 2 on the AWTGS represents easy walking tracks that offer a slightly more challenging experience compared to Grade 1. Similar to Grade 1, no prior bushwalking experience is required. The track surface is typically hardened or compacted and may have gentle hill sections or occasional steps. The total distance of a Grade 2 walk is typically no greater than 10 kilometers. These walks are still suitable for families with a bit more experience or those seeking a gentle introduction to some inclines.
