The Woody Pear Walk is a short easy trail in forest that was once milled for timber, most notably from the Casuarina tree.
Much of the bushland has recovered, revealing a great diversity of natural vegetation. Late winter and spring is the best time to admire wildflowers.
The Woody Pear Walk in Kondil Park Recreation Area is located near the little town of Nannup. Rolling farmlands and patches of native forests surrounds Nannup, making it a very picturesque location for visitors and locals alike. An area of state forest, a few minutes drive out of town, features Kondil Park Recreational Area.
The walk is a short winding leafy trail of 700 metres through previously logged bushland featuring stands of jarrah, grass trees and casuarina and a huge range of wildflowers. The trail is gently undulating, suitable for all grades of walkers.
During spring, expect to see numerous ground orchids and kangaroo paws. Kangaroos are often sighted and remain relatively close by if you don’t make too much noise. Birds are prolific, especially in spring, so bring the binoculars.
The park also offers two longer walk – the 2.5km Sheoak Walk, and the Wildflower Wander 3.3km.
