Wurundjeri Trail

This walk is named after the Wurundjeri clan who lived in this area prior to white settlement.

The Wurundjeri Wetlands enhance the recreational value of the park with the creation of an attractive habitat for water birds.

The walking tracks, seats and viewing points allow visitors to enjoy the wetlands, observe the many bird species that can be sighted here  and admire the indigenous trees in the area.

For bird lovers, there are many bird species to be seen here including the White-faced Heron, Pied Cormorant, Straw-necked Ibis, Black Duck, Black-fronted Dotterell and Australian Wood Duck. 

Another highlight of this walk is the amazing crystal display on the nature strip of the house in O'brien Crescent.
