Hubby and I had a wonderful vist to the centre and walk along the jetty. We saw over 160 beautiful black swans in the estuary plus a stunning eagle sitting up in tree. We thought we were looking at a couple of fish but on closer inspection we realized it was a magnificent stingray.

Please note, due to low water levels, there are currently no row boats at Yanchep National Park. Whether you‘re looking for a day trip near Perth or a quick stop on your journey to the Pinnacles or further north, Yanchep National Park (just 45 minutes north of Perth city) provides you the opportunity to experience kangaroos, koalas, limestone caves and Aboriginal culture in a natural setting.

We arrived before the park opened but you are still allowed in. We saw amazing wading birds, pelicans and others. Also vivid blue wrens. The koala walk was great too and enabled us to see these animals in close proximity. Well tended gardens made for a lovely early morning walk.

A lightweight walking bridge through the forest canopy brings visitors along a walk that ascends more than 130 feet into the tree tops.
Reviewed By Phineas96 - Fremantle, Australia
This is a great experience. The narrow walkways sway in the wind and it is laid out really well so that you ascend almost imperceptibly until you are high in the canopy. The views are spectacular and the walkways gentle swaying makes you feel like you are a part of the tree canopy in a way. It's a really unique experience. The trees are staggeringly beautiful and impressively giant. The walk among the trees is also really good with good signage detailing the trees and some facts about life on the forest floor. It's definitely worth the money and a good way fo getting amongst a unique and fast vanishing environment of old growth forest.

7. Thomas Carter Lookout Walk

Reviewed By Finlay122 - Perth, Australia
Great walk, not too challenging, but probably best not done if it's too hot as there is no shade and it takes a 2 - 3 hours to complete. The views of the canyons are incredible though and a great reward for your efforts. We walked the loop first finishing at Shothole Canyon view point - that way you feel rewarded - starting at the view is a bit like peaking too soon as there is not much to compare on the main part of the walk. We did not have a 4WD and tackled the long, rough road in a Suzuki Swift. It is not for the faint hearted, but if you take your time you can do it - we parked at the picnic area before Thomas Carter Lookout and walked the kilometre or so from there. Take plenty of water and make sure you have a hat.

Stopped here and sat under a tree for lunch. It is a beautiful area and right were the ocean meets the river is gorgeous. We even saw a large fish in the shallows feeding on the seaweed. We saw the fin which turned out to be its tail and went to investigate.

Sarah shared so much knowledge with us on the tour. The wildlife showed up in all it's splendour and with the help of Sarah's periscope, we could capture the detail of the birds as well. The Kangaroos, flora and dancing blue wrens were a real bonus. It was excellent value and really feel like I learned something special about our Mandurah Wetlands.
