Paganoni Swamp Reserve is located on Paganoni Road, Karnup. It is bounded by Paganoni Road to the north, Kwinana Freeway to the east, Southern Metro Rail to the west and the city boundaries of Rockingham and Mandurah to the south.
Paganoni Swamp Reserve is the most southern reserve of Rockingham Lakes Regional Park. This Conservation Category Wetland is the largest in the Stake Hill Wetlands chain.
The central wetland is surrounded by Tuart and mixed Banksia/Sheoak woodlands. Paganoni Swamp is a Bush Forever site. It is habitat for endangered Black Cockatoos.
This cache was a fun one to go out and do. We got up extra early being an extremely hot day and headed out to do the Paganoni Power Trail.
After trying to access from the Stock Rd end we soon realised the construction going on wasnt going to allow us access. So we began at Paganoni end and went from there.
Take Note. This is a nice easy find.... But the bush trail turns to very soft sand about 1/3 of the way. You will not access this with a bicycle or stroller. Bring a hat and water if its gonna be a warm one. We definitelty underestimated the Trek during these weather conditions.
Cache is micro disguised as small size. Super easy find. Not such an easy walk during summer. Expect 4km round trip if accessing from Paganoni Rd. Plenty of caches to find along this trail. Enjoy and good luck.
Well Done Ooh Yeah on F2f. Congrats
