Bunmarra Wetland

Bunmarra Wetland is a dog walk in Alexandria, NSW, expect diverse wetland flora and fauna, including blue-tongue lizards, and interpretive signage about Aboriginal culture and the local environment.

The walk

Underfoot it is mixed (boardwalk, paved, natural).

Lead rules

City of Sydney manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Alexandria for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

There is enough dog-friendly hospitality around Alexandria to turn the walk into an outing; the suburb guide sorts out the options. Beaconsfield Park is the other local walk worth comparing.
