Park manager Julia Coggins said the trail was a course of hidden containers, called caches, that can be discovered by GPS or smartphone, and follows the wetlands walk around Loch McNess.
‘The Nyanyi-Yandjip geocache trail, named after the traditional tribal name of the park, will lead people through our stunning Australian bush, then when completed, they share the details of their find to the world online,’ Ms Coggins said.
Bushrangers WA cadet program instructor Gary Thirlwell worked with the cadets to develop the geocache trail.
‘I had been introduced to geocaching by my nephew, and thought that there was potential to develop a geocache trail with my cadet unit,’ he said.
