Discovery Walks are designed to connect you with the nature and community and are offered by Port Environment Centre May to October in 2022, with a range of walking lengths and locations.

We invite you to join us for our first walk to Wara Wayingga - Tennyson Dunes.

Learn about this fragile ecosystem and the valued work of volunteers to educate and protect by restoring natural habitats and minimising threats to the plants and animals that call this place home.

This walk is approx. 5km over a 2 hour period and a good level of fitness is needed.

Meeting spot: Inlet Reserve Carpark - corner of Trimmer Parade and Military Road West Lakes.

Initially we walk 30 mins one way to Wara Wayingga - Tennyson Dunes Conservation Reserve where we meet up with local volunteers from the Tennyson Dunes Group to learn about their current program and the biodiversity within the dunes. We return along a slightly different route on dune trails back to Inlet Reserve.

Walking surfaces include footpaths, soft sand, grass and may include some short uphill and downhill sections to a lookout.

There are toilets located at the start/finish spot at Inlet Reserve.

What to wear/bring:

Comfortable walking shoes
Sun protection (hat, suncream, sunglasses)
Raincoat (if wet weather is forecast)
Filled water bottle
Snack/fruit
Backpack or bag to carry loose items
Personal items such as medications eg puffers
Camera (optional)

Participants under the age of 18 years must have a registered ticket and be accompanied by an adult.

Cancellation: We reserve the right to cancel if the weather forecast predicts unsafe conditions for our leaders and the public eg severe weather or thunderstorms – we will notify you with as much notice as possible should this happen.
