Learn moreAbout Tamworth Wetlands Loop Trail, Rockingham
The Tamworth Wetlands Loop is a 4km circular trail nestled in Baldivis, offering a tranquil experience for walkers, trail runners, cyclists, and bird enthusiasts. The path meanders through picturesque wetlands and is flanked by native tuart and banksia trees, providing a habitat for diverse bird species. Birdwatchers will appreciate the opportunity to observe various birds in their natural environment.
The trail features a mix of crushed limestone, dirt and bituminised surfaces throughout the loop, majority of which is well shaded under the tree canopy. Whilst the route is generally easy, some sections may be seasonally flooded, so appropriate footwear and checking conditions prior to your hike is recommended.
The trail is dog-friendly (on leash) and offers a peaceful setting for a leisurely walk or a more invigorating hike. Located just 45 minutes south of Perth’s CBD, the Tamworth Wetlands Loop is a convenient escape into nature—offering rich biodiversity, scenic beauty and a quiet place to unwind beneath the tuart canopy.
