The Djeran & Beeloo Riding Series

Djeran Riding Series 2025

The Djeran Riding Series – led by Wadjuk Traditional Owner, Olman Walley – gives people the chance to experience Kings Park and it’s surrounds during the season of Djeran. 

The three 2-hour rides have some hills so a reasonable level of fitness is required. There will be plenty of stops along the way to share history, stories and culture all focused on the waterways, local plants and animals, tools, artefacts and significant sites. All on bikes! 

There’ll also be bike skills activities and games.

The Djeran Series is for all riders 10 years or over with a roadworthy bike and helmet – under 16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
