About
A picnic area is located at Mount Observation. There are shaded picnic areas, wood barbecues, toilets and a wildlife viewing hide. The viewing hide was constructed with assistance from the Darling Range Branch of the WA Naturalist’s Club.
The picnic area is situated amongst wandoo woodlands and a short walk trail leads from the picnic area to the animal viewing hide, which is located overlooking a winter flowing creek. During winter a wide variety of birds can be seen and heard in the area, amongst the creek line vegetation.
