Greenough River Nature Walk Trail

Starting from the Greenough River Car Park, this walk takes you on a circuit around the Greenough River. The path traverses through a diverse flora, including rich wheat farms, bushlands and coastal vegetation scattered along dunes. This diversity allows animals, especially birds, to thrive and allows visitors to observe the wildlife. You can spot wrens and honeyeaters on the riverbank and around dunes. On the estuary side, it is possible to spot pelicans, egrets, ducks and cormorants. To freshen up, you can visit Devlin Pool past the gully for a swim. Insect repellents or nets are advised. The track is open for mountain biking and flat, but keep in mind that the texture is sand. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
