Six months after the January fire that devastated 7500 hectares of land between Two Rocks and Yanchep, including a large portion of the Yanchep National Park, the natural bushland is being transformed with the recent rainfall.
Driving along Wanneroo Road, or walking through the affected areas of the national park, you can see shoots of fresh, green new life popping up everywhere.
Since January the Department of Environment and Conservation, Yanchep National Park staff and volunteers have completed several projects in the fire affected areas of the park.
Twenty kilometres of fire scarred land has been rehabilitated within park and state forest boundaries.
A weed blitz has seen hand removal of opportunistic weeds and weed spraying around parts of the wetlands.
On the Wetlands Walk Trail, 1.5km of tree inspections, tree surgery, signage and redefined pathways has been completed with the replacement of a retaining wall.
On the golf course, there have been bridge repairs and extensive tree inspections with surgery where necessary.
The 14km Yanchep Rose Walk Trail has undergone tree inspections and some surgery with new signage.
On the Coastal Plains Trail, where 6km of the 55km trail was burnt out, preliminary tree inspections have taken place and tree surgery is partially completed.
About 9 km of the Ghost House Walk Trail was burnt, preliminary tree inspections have been completed and the majority of tree surgery completed.
The 5km of the 17.5km Cockatoo Walk Trail that was burnt out all tree inspections and required surgery has been completed. The signage replacement on this trail is nearing completion.
