Blackburn Lake Sanctuary

Reviewed By platypus150 - Melbourne, Australia

It really was a pleasant stroll along the well made paths and to the lake. There is a good playground, seating scattered through all the vegetation types, and much peace from the din of the city. Many bird calls registered and there was a good chance for conversation.

Kalang Park

Reviewed By wendy77BB - Melbourne, Australia

We walk our dogs here every day. It's very restful with friendly walkers and runners but not too many of them! Lots of birds and native plants.

Wurundjeri Walk

Reviewed By urbandrifter - Melbourne, Australia

Wurundjeri Walk is 20 hectares extending between Middleborough and Blackburn Roads in Blackburn South. The park is made up of the following parks and reserves: Orchard Grove Reserve – including a “Rain Garden” or water quality biofilter Wilkes Place Link Hurter / Finch Street Links The Wurunjeri Wetlands (on Fulton Reserve, corner of Indra and Fulton Roads). Wurundjeri Walk is named after the Wurundjeri Clan, the Koori people who lived in this area prior to white settlement. The park is a major district park with a balance of recreation facilities in a natural setting. The Wurundjeri Wetlands, completed in 2001, enhance the recreational values of the park with the creation of an attractive habitat for water birds. During 2008 another wetland feature was added – a Rain Garden or Biofilter – which is near the corner of Fulton Road and Samuel Street. The Rain Garden treats local storm water by filtering water through a porous sand medium planted with wetland plants. There are walking paths, seats and viewing points from which the visitor can overlook the wetlands, observe the birds and admire the indigenous trees e.g. Red Stringybark, Yellow Box, Long-leaf Box, Swamp Gum, Sweet Bursaria and Swamp Paperbark plus many other grasses, tufties and shrubs indigenous to Whitehorse. Bird species sighted in the wetlands include the White-faced Heron, Pied Cormorant, Straw-necked Ibis, Black Duck, Black-fronted Dotterell and Australian Wood Duck. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly.
