The Blackwood River is one of the major waterways of the South West. It holds strong cultural, heritage, social and environmental values for the residents and visitors. Nannup is named for an Aboriginal word meaning “Meeting Place”. The Aboriginal name for the river is Goorbilyup – “The place of the snake’s belly”

The walking trail is parked by posts and markers. Public toilets, barbecues and water is available at the Nannup Foreshore Park – this is also marked on the map. Tap this symbol for the park for more information.
