BIG SWAMP PARKLAND REVIEWS

Fabulous place to visit...took lots of photos. Loved spotting birds in the bird hide. A few more interpretive signs would have been helpful. Nice kiddie playground at the end with a well placed toilet.

Best place to take a stroll in Bunbury. Be sure to go down the paper bark trail and over the bridges to the bird viewing area. Lots of hidden gems around this route, enjoy!!

It's a good walking course. It's a good place to enjoy the sunlight while observing ducks.

MANEA PARK WALKING TRAIL REVIEWS

So peaceful..beautiful wildflowers. A limestone track makes it alot easier to walk..it takes us an hour to walk the full loop.

It is a hidden treasure for nature lovers. Lots of wild flowers and wild native plants.

This attraction/walk trails in Spring is a great way to see local wildflowers and orchids.

CROOKED BROOK FOREST REVIEWS

beautiful to visit around october when all the flower are in bloom. the shorter bush track is great and takes around 10 minutes, BBQ's available and a long drop. little playground for kids. the 10km track is well signed and has some pretty views. recommend wearing supportive shoes.

Absolutely gorgeous part of the world and only a short drive from Bunbury. Most of the wild flowers are in season now and there are a variety of walking circuits ranging from 600m to about 11km.

A nice little walk through the bush, a 1.5 and 3km option available. plenty of wildflowers this time of year.
