Celebrate Mandurah Families Week 2026 with a guided outdoor adventure through one of Mandurah’s most peaceful and wildlife-rich natural areas.
Join Off The Beaten Track WA for the Giants and Wetlands Wander, a relaxed family-friendly hike along the scenic Mariner’s Cove Trail within Creery Wetlands Nature Reserve. Designed for families of all ages and abilities, this gentle two-hour experience offers the perfect opportunity to step away from screens, reconnect with nature and spend quality time together outdoors.
