Shepherds Bush Park

Shepherds Bush is a natural sanctuary providing habitat for over 90 species of birds. Dawn is the best time of the day to listen for the wonderful calls and songs of native birds frolicking in the branches of the manna gums.

Walking tracks and boardwalks meander through bushland and billabongs making the park an ideal spot for walking, sitting, bird watching and photography. Experience a natural oasis in the hustle and bustle of suburbia.

Flora & FaunaAn important habitat for a host of other native animals such as bats, possums, frogs and reptiles. At night you may catch a glimpse of the elusive sugar glider gliding from tree to tree in search of dinner or the ringtail possum feeding on eucalyptus leaves.

Shepherds Bush has swampy, riparian forest dominated by Yarra and manna gums, silver wattle, blackwood wattle and swamp paperbark. As the land is prone to flooding there is a good range of aquatic species in the area such as water plantain and tassel sedge.
