Walk guides developed by the Friends of Shenton Bushland Inc
The seasons in Shenton Bushland each have their own flavour and delight. From the exhuberant orchid displays in September, to the grim fight for survival in March, the bushland changes with the seasons, giving visitors a connection with the real world, and an opportunity to escape the pressures of city life.
The Friends of Shenton Bushland encourage visitors to explore and appreciate the natural processes going on in Shenton Bushland. To help appreciate the wonderful complexity of life in the bushland we have developed the following walk guides.
Feel free to download these materials and take them with you on your walk through the bushland. Your feedback is appreciated and will help us improve them
