The Kings Park bushland offers unique opportunities for those wishing to take a break from the urban jungle. Take a bushland stroll, get close and personal with some macro-photography or grab a pair of binoculars and spy on the birdlife.

One of our favourite things to do in the bushland is just stand in a quiet place and breathe in the experience. What can you see, smell and hear?

Observe the tracks of tiny insects, watch the fluttering of colourful butterflies or spy on some nesting birdlife through a pair of binoculars.

Perhaps you'd like to write a poem or paint a picture about your experience. We invite visitors to share their personal journey through the Social History project.
