Hight rate 3 location for tourist in Wantirna, VIC , Australia

Chaz Nestled between the rolling greens of a golf course lies a hidden gem of a wetlands area, teeming with local wildlife. This picturesque setting offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, and a chance to connect with nature, although I must admit at times you can hear the vehicles on the Eastern Freeway that now cuts through there!. As you stroll along the winding paths, youll be serenaded by the cheerful songs of crimson rosellas and rainbow lorikeets, who flit from tree to tree in a kaleidoscope of colours. If youre lucky, you might even spot a king parrot perched high up in the branches, its vibrant red and green plumage standing out against the blue sky. But the real stars of the show are the ducks, who paddle lazily in the waters of the wetlands. With their sleek feathers and comical waddles, they never fail to bring a smile to your face. You might even catch sight of a family of ducklings, following their mother in a neat line as they explore their watery home. As you take in the sights and sounds of this idyllic setting, its easy to forget that youre just a stones throw from the golf course. The wetlands area can be a peaceful oasis, offering a respite from your normal busy day activities. So why not take a break from the golf course and spend some time in this charming wetlands area? Youre sure to leave feeling refreshed and renewed, with a newfound appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds you in this area, which I would say is perfect for locals. However, if travelling, I wouldnt be going out of my way to visit when you could find other beautiful spots that havent got a freeway going through it.

Thomas Liontis This part of the wetlands is a much more appealing place to take a look at. Its in-between the golf course and housing area and despite that its very well preserved, with lots of plant and bird life as well.

Liz Fisher Lovely peaceful environment for walking or bike riding. Area is being reinstated as a wet land, so work in progress. But enjoyed the visit there.

Mark Aidan Good for a stroll around for a look. Backs onto the Dandenong Creek pathway which links up to other parks and wetlands. Looks fairly new so may be a work in progess or waiting on nature to develop. Would not make a special visit but if your close by.....

Lyndon Voigt Just off to the side of part of the Dandenong creek trail, it is a nice little piece of bush separate from the hustle and bustle of the shared bike/walking track.

Paul Taylor The actual reserve is only the wooded area, but popularity has named the whole area including the ovals. To the west is a fenced off conservation area that contains an old billabong, not that it has a lot of water these days. To the east at the back of the ovals woodland persists. There are a few little trails through the woods but it can be quite dense. While here look out for the sugar gliders, one of the remaining habits for them. To the north is the Dandenong Trail and then Dandenong creek.

fernando m Nice walking track with lots of birds, ducks & trees.

angus richards Always nice to take a walk, took my German exchange student here and he loved it.

Andrew Smith Just off the Dandenong Creek Trail, this park is lovely to take the dog for a walk. Remember, if its been wet, the ovals can be very damp.

Paul Dossor dropped the son off for Wednesday night cricket club rooms recently updated with great viewing of Central ground and top ground. sorry road there only draw back and parking was plentiful

Mahdi Dehghan Nice park. Good walk on the back trail. Not.long but its OK. The main path has too many bloody bikers going down too fast. Stupidity to the Max. Not well equipped, cant find any bins. One water tap o found next to car park

Nara Lee Lovely place to walk, love the different trails and the various terrains! Quite busy with cyclists, so be aware of that, but off the main track, there’s plenty to explore. A good way to get out and spend some time with nature.

Kerbray A brilliant walk to take your dog on leash. Theres several pathways, but for the most part its a linear walk from one side to the other. The only challenge are cyclists going past quite fast, but very voidable if youre paying attention. There are some very snake-prone areas so be particularly cautious when taking your dog with you.

Tiffany T Link to the Dandenong creek trail. A great running, walking trail that stretches a long distance. Asphalt paving with slight elevation throughout. Beautiful throughout the day, also a great place for bird watching.

Virantha Gamage A very calm & quiet place for a walk. Better to keep walking until you see the water stream. Because thats the area where you see the real beauty of this park.
