Description

Karlkurla Bushland Park is a 200 ha woodland site of natural bush on the outskirts of Kalgoorlie. The vegetation of the park has regenerated after the tree-felling activities in the early 1900s that supported the wood fired steam engines, underground gold mines and formation of the woodlines (narrow gauge railway lines). The park has a network of meandering walking trails, complete with interpretive signage and a very nice lookout. All three fairy-wren species have been recorded in and around Karlkurla Bushland Park (Blue-breasted, White-winged and Splendid Fairy-wrens). The Mistletoebird is a regular visitor to the park. Magpies, Willy wagtails, honeyeaters and miners are common.
