The Spectacles Wetland Walk

The Spectacles Wetland Walk is a dog walk in Banjup, WA, expect two wetlands resembling spectacles from above, connected by waterway, surrounded by banksia, sheoak, grasstree, and paperbark vegetation, with opportunities for bird watching and interpretive signs about Aboriginal heritage.

The walk

Underfoot it is mixed (flat, even paths, boardwalks, and some sandy/mossy sections).

Lead rules

City of Kwinana and Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.

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 Banjup for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Banjup suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Banjup Bushland is the other local walk worth comparing.
