Paruna Sanctuary - Visitors Program
Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the Avon Valley approximately an hour east of Perth near the small town of Gidgegannup. Established in 1998 after eight separate blocks were purchased and amalgamated, the pristine bushland in the 2,000 ha sanctuary includes jarrah, wandoo and powderbark forest combined with healthland and riparian habitat. The sanctuary forms a vital corridor along the Avon River between the Walyunga and Avon Valley National Parks.
There are a number of high quality walk trails at Paruna sanctuary that were constructed with the assistance of “Green Corps” teams. The trails vary in length and difficulty from the 2.5 km Possum Loop to the 13 km Numbat Track.
