About Creery Wetlands Nature Reserve
Creery Wetlands Nature Reserve is a protected estuarine wetland on the southeastern shore of Peel Inlet in Mandurah, Western Australia, about 75 km south of Perth. Part of the Peel-Yalgorup Ramsar-listed wetland system, it protects samphire flats, mudflats and fringing vegetation vital for migratory shorebirds and waterbirds. The reserve features a boardwalk, bird hide and interpretive signage, offering accessible nature-based recreation and environmental education close to Mandurah city centre.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a tranquil estuarine landscape of samphire flats, mudflats and fringing woodland overlooking Peel Inlet. A 400-metre boardwalk leads through the wetlands to a bird hide overlooking the estuary, with interpretive signs explaining ecology and birdlife. The setting is open and flat, ideal for quiet walking, birdwatching and photography. No built visitor centre inside the reserve; experience is nature-focused and self-guided.
