About the Event

Cubby Town provided families in WA with the opportunity to visit Yanchep National Park to explore and take part in nature play activities including nature craft, treasure hunts, imaginative play, cubby building and much more. 

During the event, families were encouraged to explore Yanchep National Park and take part in unstructured outdoor play. Through the involvement of local businesses and the City of Wanneroo, the event assisted in strengthening and promoting children's early learning and development, and connecting families with community programs and experiences in their local area.

Thanks to the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, entry into Yanchep National Park was free for attendees, opening the event to a diverse range of families across Yanchep, Two Rocks and throughout the greater metropolitan and regional areas.
