Descripción
From the Tourism WA link: "The Mangrove Walk and Boardwalk takes you on a unique walk through the remnants of mangroves that used to grow some 20,000 years ago.
Located on Leschenault Estuary, the boardwalk allows a close-up view of the unusual vegetation that now grows within the mangroves. Bring along your binoculars to spot over 60 species of water birds that inhabit the area.
Whilst the boardwalk is only 200 metres long the walk is 5.3 kilometres. Make sure you allow plenty of time to enjoy the serenity of the surroundings. Stop at the wooden carved observation huts, which are a photo opportunity in themselves, before completing the remainder of the walk".
A good selection of birds can be observed from this site including Black Swan, Great Cormorant, Rufous Whistler and (over summer) Common Sandpiper.
