Om
Raske fakta: 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.
Høydepunkter: 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.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy walking shoes for uneven boardwalks and trails.
- Bring binoculars to catch glimpses of shy waterbirds in the reeds.
- Visit during weekdays to avoid weekend crowds, especially in spring.
- Look for the small interpretive signs explaining local ecology and Indigenous history.
