Canning River Bushwalk

SUNDAY 29TH MARCH

Canning River Reserve 2

Location:      Wilson 

Time:            8.45 am for 9.00 am start

Meet:            Carpark, end of Kent Street, (Kent St Weir) UBD Map 310, D10

Details:        The walk is an easy one along the banks of the upper Canning River utilising footpaths with a short section of bush track.  Coffee stop at Masons Landing which has shaded seating and toilets around 1000.  The walk is between 4 to 5 km.

We began the walk at Kent Street Weir. Kent St is off Albany Highway, but is not well marked. It’s easily missed as you drive along, which is what I did and arrived 5 minutes late. Luckily, the group had not set iff as there was a sudden heavy shower of rain so they were all sheltering at the cafe.

On the walk, we kept seeing lone white herons in the trees and I tried to photograph them taking off, which proved impossible!
