Learn moreAbout Erskine Nature Trail, Mandurah
The Erskine Nature Trail takes walkers on boardwalks over the wetlands that traverse the Ramsar-listed Peel-Harvey estuary. This is the largest and most diverse estuarine complex in south-western Australia, a key destination for tourism and recreation, particularly popular for boating, fishing and crabbing.
There are numerous viewing platforms as well as a bird hide that showcases an opportunity to stop and watch some of the tens of thousands of waterbirds, including large numbers of migrant shorebirds from the northern hemisphere, that use the estuary and lakes each year.
The bushland provides plenty of shade and a number of seating alcoves along the way, where if you are quiet enough, you may see a resident kangaroo or local quenda foraging for food.
Although the path is not sealed, it is well maintained and is suitable for wheelchairs and prams.
This walk is suitable for anytime of the year, but especially nice in late winter and spring when the wildflowers are in bloom.

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
