Sounds of Dryandra Woodland Drive Trail

This 25-kilometre radio drive trail was the first of its kind to be constructed in Western Australia.

Short-range, solar-powered transmitters, hidden from view in nearby treetops, are used to broadcast commentaries as you move from site to site along the trail.

The commentaries help you to discover the relationships between people and Dryandra Woodland through the years. The sounds of the past come to life with tales of the original Noongar use of Dryandra, early forestry days, bush railways and some of Dryandra's amazing wildlife such as the numbat and malleefowl.

The trail starts from the information shelter at the Old Mill Dam and heads west, away from the Settlement. Signs indicate where to stop and tune in to the 'Sounds of Dryandra Woodland'.

Numbat symbols and numbers on the map correspond to the locations of sites along the trail. At each posted site, drivers stop their cars and tune their radios to 100 MHz FM.

Kangaroos, echidnas, birds, numbats and reptiles cross the roads in Dryandra, so please travel carefully and give them right of way.
