Spectacles Aboriginal Heritage Trail

Directions - Take the Anketell Rd exit off the Kwinana Freeway and head west until you reach McLaughlin Rd. The car park is on McLaughlin Rd and the trail can be found by following the track east until just before the lake.

​

The Hike - Tipped off by Sara from Hike it Baby about a nice little trail called The Spectacles, I researched a little further and there it was on the TrailsWA site (really should check more closely). Being dog friendly and of fairly manageable distance it was perfect for bringing the whole family along so we loaded up into the car one fine Saturday and ventured down the freeway towards Anketell Road. The trail forms a loop around one of the eastern lakes of The Spectacles (hence the name) and includes a couple of detours into the lake area to allow closer contact with the wetlands and local bird life.
