Yanchep National Park is about one hour north of the city of Perth and is a wonderful place to get a taste of the bush.

We had to start with a completely wild kangaroo nibbling in the forest.

Eleven Koalas live in an enclosure. We learnt that koalas can tell when eucaliptus contains arsenic.

Grass trees grow very slowly and are a distinctive part of the bush.

Central to Yanchep is a lake with swamp hens and pelicans.

When the rain starts falling it's time for one of Mrs. Macs pies.
