Lightning Swamp Bushland

Lightning Swamp Bushland is a 71.3-hectare (176-acre) area of natural bush and wetlands in Noranda, Western Australia, a suburb of Perth.

It is a perched wetland (meaning it is not connected to groundwater), which is somewhat rare for the Swan Coastal Plain.

An open stormwater drain managed by the Water Corporation flows along the length of the reserve and through them.

[1][2] Lightning Swamp Bushland was first reserved in 1963 as part of the initial edition of the Metropolitan Region Scheme.

Works included fencing the perimeter of the reserve to keep out motorbikes and off-road vehicles, creating 3.6-kilometre (2.2 mi) of limestone track for people to walk or ride through the reserve whilst protecting it, planting native plants, controlling weeds and dieback, and creating a boardwalk next to the wetland.
