How To Get There<br />
<strong>Star</strong> <strong>Swamp</strong> Bushland Reserve is a 100 hectare native bushland reserve<br />
located approximately 15 kilometres north-west <strong>of</strong> Perth and is bordered by<br />
Marmion Avenue, North Beach Road, Hope Street and Beach Road.<br />
Notes<br />
The <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Swamp</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> <strong>Trail</strong> is a 1.4 kilometre walk-trail which highlights<br />
the natural significance and role <strong>of</strong> the bushland and associated wetland in the<br />
history and development <strong>of</strong> North Beach and Watermans Bay. At a leisurely<br />
pace the walk-trail provides an enjoyable 40 minute walk through uniquely<br />
varying bushland ecosystems, with opportunities for bird-watching and<br />
wildflower photography. The reserve sustains a rich diversity <strong>of</strong> plant and<br />
animal life in tranquil settings. A walk through the bushland and around the<br />
wetland provides a rewarding experience.<br />
Beach Road<br />
The <strong>Trail</strong> is accessible from three entrance points:<br />
South – from the end <strong>of</strong> Groat Street.<br />
North – from the end <strong>of</strong> Mary Street.<br />
West – from Hope Street by the <strong>Swamp</strong>.<br />
Following the trail route map, look for trail markers bearing the <strong>City</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Stirling</strong> and Bushlinks logos.<br />
