BEYOND THE PATH: Yaberoo’s History
Yaberoo Budjara translates to ‘Land of the peoples North of Perth’
I don’t know how many times I ran the trails of Yaberoo Budjara before I made the effort to discover how it really came about. I took for granted that it was just something that was there and it was at my backdoor to utilise. A unique and wonderful strip of beautiful forever bushland in the heart of suburbia in Perth’s Northern Suburbs.
The Whadjuk peoples have used this corridor of land for tens of thousands of years before us. Travelling along the wetlands between the swan estuaries to Yanchep and even as far North as Moore River, the sandy hills between the corridor and the coast gave them some protection on their travels during harsh Winters.
To have an event that runs along this trail is a privileged opportunity for us to acknowledge the history of the region and our country’s first peoples.
Race distances of 5, 10, 15, 25 and 50km are available for you to immerse yourselves in the beautiful coastal bushlands along the limestone trail.

Yaberoo Trail Twilight Ultra Entries NOW OPEN!
This trail feels like a hidden escape, winding through coastal bushland that has remained unchanged for generations.
The track shifts between open stretches, and shaded corridors of towering trees, offering a glimpse into a landscape that exists quietly alongside the suburbs. The further you run, the more it feels like stepping into another world - one where the land tells its own story, if you take the time to listen.
