This is an easy find with excellent views over the wet lands. Please take a moment to view the scenery before you leave. Please be courtious enough to replace in hiding place as you found it and log the condition of cache. Good luck and enjoy, thankyou for playing!

Vasse-Wonnerup Wetlands
The wetlands have been listed by the Ramsar Convention as 'Wetlands of International Importance', offering views of beautiful birdlife. A hide is situated on the southern side, with the walk trail accessible from Layman Road. More than 75 species have so far been recorded, several of them rare. Nesting birds, resting birds, nomadic birds and migrants. Pink-eared, hoary-headed, blue-billed, whiskered, straw-necked, red-kneed, long-toed and spotless. Tattlers, warblers, shovelers, turnstones, knots, rails, hardheads and stints.
The Vasse-Wonnerup wetlands lie on the outskirts of Busselton, gateway to one of WA’s most popular holiday regions, where people escape the heat of summer to enjoy the rugged coast, sheltered beaches, forests, caves, farmlands and vineyards of the South-West. The wetlands vary from broad expanses of open water to sheltered bays and inlets. Shorelines are fringed by flooded pastures or native rush and paperbark.
The surrounding pastures are lush green in spring, turning to golden hay in summer. To the south is the last substantial area of tuart forest in the world – only 2000 hectares. Stately tuarts (Eucalyptus gomphocephala) grow to 30 metres or more and are home for parrots and possums, bandicoots and kangaroos. To the north lie low dunes skirted by peppermint and wattle, behind beaches of sand and shell and clear green waters. Not far from Vasse-Wonnerup is one of the largest ibis breeding colonies in the State. As well as several thousand ibis, there are large numbers of egret, spoonbills, herons and cormorants. Many hundreds of these birds feed around Vasse-Wonnerup wetlands and adjoining pastures
