Island Point also provides picnic facilities with barbeques, picnic tables and toilets. You can launch a small boat or a kayak, or go crabbing. Above all you can simply enjoying easy hiking through wetlands while observing amazing flora and fauna.
Island Point Reserve location
The reserve is at the end of Island Point Road, just off Old Coast Road, south of Mandurah. It is roughly 1,5 hours drive from Perth.
Korung National Park, is in Western Australia, 26 kilometres south-east of Perth. It was formerly known as Pickering Brook National Park. There are 2 designated hiking and mountain bike trails (Carmel walk and Lion’s Lookout) in the park. Both have an abundance of wildflowers in spring. We visited Lion’s Lookout.
Lion’s Lookout walk
Lion’s Lookout Walk within Korung National Park, just off Welshpool Road in Lesmurdie is a great hiking trail to do in winter and spring. With wide but bumpy track going up and down, and at times being challenging, it was fun for our kids. They were running up and down the slopes, while the adults were struggling to go down on some steep sections.
Lion’s Lookout is a loop trail, 4km long. The highest point of the track offers great views over Bickley Reservoir and Perth city.
Wildflowers at Korung National Park
There are plenty of widlflowers along the way. We find looking at wildflowers so fascinating, that went to the trouble of learning their names, so we know what we are photographing.
