Woodman Point Regional Park 
John Graham reserve
Recreation facilities in the John Graham reserve
Introduction:
Unlike many of Perth’s beaches, those at Woodman Point have a bushy backdrop of unique remnant vegetation. Magnificent natural remnants of tuart woodland, coastal health and the most extensive stands of Rottnest cypress found anywhere on the mainland characterise the park. Woodman Point has an intriguing history and features in Nyoongar creation stories.
