Datos rápidos: The park stretches along 2.5 kilometers of the Canning River and features over 28 hectares of natural bushland and wetlands. It hosts a diverse range of wildlife, including over 100 bird species and native marsupials like the western brush wallaby.
Destacados: A unique feature is the boardwalk that winds through the wetlands, allowing up-close views of native birds and water plants often missed on standard trails. Visitors often spot the secretive Australasian bittern, a rare bird known for its booming call echoing at dawn and dusk.
