웨스턴 오스트레일리아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 호수

톰슨스 레이크 자연 보호 구역(Thomsons Lake Nature Reserve)은 풍부한 조류, 캥거루 및 기타 토종 야생 동물로 유명한 대규모 계절성 습지이자 보호 자연 보호 구역으로, 퍼스 남부 외곽에서 평화로운 자연을 만끽할 수 있는 곳입니다. 이 호수는 습한 달에 물이 차오르면서 철새와 물새를 끌어들이고, 주변의 사초와 토종 수풀 지대는 스완 연안 평원의 전형적인 습지 환경을 조성합니다. 이곳은 습지 보존 및 야생 동물 서식지로 인정받아 국제적으로 중요한 포레스트데일(Forrestdale) 및 톰슨스 레이크 람사르(Thomson's Lakes Ramsar) 지역의 일부입니다.

Beeliar Regional Park is a network of wetlands, lakes, and native bushland stretching across the southern suburbs of Perth, protecting both natural land and cultural values. The park supports diverse wildlife, including waterbirds, marsupials, and native plants, while also preserving sites of significance to the Whadjuk Nyungar people. It offers extensive recreational opportunities, including walking, cycling, and birdwatching, connecting urban communities with the region’s beautiful natural landscapes.

Lake Joondalup sits within the Yellagonga Regional Park. Lake Joondalup Circuit is a trail that encircles the lake and is great for a long run, walk, or ride. The full loop spans 16 kilometers, as this is the largest lake in the Perth metro area. While visiting the lake, you can catch a glimpse of Western Grey Kangaroos, quendas, Southwestern snake-necked turtles, or some of the 120 different species of birds that call this lake home.

Galup Trail is a flat, shared path that forms a loop around Lake Monger (Galup), connecting wetlands with open water views, and pockets of urban bushland close to central Perth. The mostly sealed surface and gentle grades make it popular for walking, running, and cycling, with plenty of spots to pause for birdlife and skyline views. At roughly 3.5 kilometres, it’s an easy, accessible circuit that highlights the lake’s importance as both a wildlife habitat and a well-used city green space.

Serpentine Falls is a great place to visit on a hot day. The falls and swimming hole are easily accessible just a short distance from the parking area where you'll also find BBQs and picnic areas to enjoy before or after your hike and swim.

The thrombolites of Lake Clifton are living, microbial, rock-like structures that form in the brackish water zone of the lake. They arise from the activity of microorganisms, particularly filamentous cyanobacteria such as Scytonema, which, through photosynthesis, deposit calcium carbonate (aragonite) from the water, thus forming a rock-like structure. These structures are a living representation of the oldest life forms on Earth and are considered a modern analogue to fossil thrombolites, which can be up to 3.5 billion years old.

What a magical place! Huge granite rocks lying in turquoise water or on the white beach! A paradise on earth!

possible to swim. pretty safe. enjoy.
