About the Walking Trail

The wetlands are home to over 160 species of birds, eight species of fish, four species of frog, yabbies, long-necked tortoise and numerous aquatic invertebrates. More than 25 species of aquatic plants thrive in wetlands.

The wetlands provide flood protection and retention, improved water quality and aquifer storage and recovery.

The Greenfields Wetlands is a pioneering development, being one of the first large, constructed urban wetlands in Australia.
