✨ Spotted: the elegant white-faced heron at Horse Swamp. 🪶

Captured beautifully by Peter Caddy, this dreamy moment shows just how magical the Park can be—especially when the water mirrors every detail of this graceful bird. It’s the kind of quiet, blink-and-you-miss-it encounter that makes exploring here so special.

From birdlife to bushland surprises, there’s always something to discover around every corner. What wildlife have you spotted at Whiteman Park lately?

Today marks International Day for Biological Diversity 🌱 and this year’s theme, ‘Acting locally for global impact,’ is a fantastic reminder of how the small actions we take in our own backyards can add up to meaningful change for biodiversity worldwide.

Here at the Park, we’re celebrating the ongoing successes of our annual tree planting and fauna breeding programs. Each year, we continue to make progress—one step at a time—in actively boosting the biodiversity of our banksia woodland. From woylies to wallabies, curlews to cockatoos, skinks to snakebush, every animal and plant plays a vital role in our ecosystem.

Small actions, like those you can undertake at home, really do matter too! Whether you’re planting a native shrub, keeping your pet cat safely indoors, or creating a mini wetland to welcome frogs, every little effort helps to support and protect our local biodiversity. Together, these steps create ripples that reach far and wide.
