Western Sydney Parklands

A new bush walking experience through Western Sydney Parklands. 

Gabrugal Yana is a bushwalk that connects you with Dharug Country and culture, and the story of six Dharug Seasons, told through artwork created by First Nations artists.  

The 11km loop trail is designed for you to experience Country and enjoy views to Gulamada (Blue Mountains) and Sydney’s eastern skyline. There is an amazing diversity of plant, bird and animal life to see in the western Sydney bush, as well as places to rest and lookouts.  

Along the way, discover six hand-crafted art trees that represent the changing seasons of this Country.  

Gabrugal (also known as Cabrogal) are the people of the area around Fairfield and Liverpool. The clan’s totem is the mangrove or ship worm. Yana means walk.
