Nature & Wildlife Experiences
The perfect destination
to easily spot native
wildlife as you explore
by water or land
Here are our insider tips of where to spot wild dolphins, kangaroos, emus and waterbirds:
Dolphins – regularly visit the calm waters in the centre of Mandurah and are a joy to watch while dining alfresco by the waterfront or just strolling along the foreshore. Some residents say that you are almost 100% guaranteed to see a dolphin at the Dawesville Cut as they have never once walked their dogs here without seeing a dolphin.
Kangaroos – graze on Melros Beach Reserve and Florida Beach Reserve in the late afternoon. You can also spot them close-up near the picnic area at Serpentine Falls National Park.
Emus – can often be spotted walking along the lake shores at Lake Clifton at Yalgorup National Park.
Black Swans – mass between October and March at Lake Pollard at Yalgorup National Park.
Red-tailed black cockatoos – are native to south-western Australia and can be seen high up in the trees from the Emu Walk Trail that leads from Dwellingup town centre to the Forest Discovery Centre.
