SMITHS LAKE RESERVE

Public BBQ

Smiths Lake Reserve proves Perth best-kept secrets often hide plain sight. Charming tranquility pocket sits nestled between city bustle and airport flight paths yet feels worlds away from both. Centerpiece lake draws impressive native bird cast,honeyeaters dart through banksia trees while coots and ducks patrol water edge creating natural symphony drowning distant traffic. Reserve offers essentials: electric BBQ facilities, bench seats, viewing platform providing waterfowl show front-row seats. Lacking amenities (no toilets so plan accordingly) compensates in character. Mostly-native plantings and grassed areas create perfect picnic conditions though seasoned visitors recommend packing mozzie repellent,local mosquitoes apparently quite welcoming. Bird photographers find themselves paradise with regular sightings ranging common waterbirds to more elusive species. Dog owners particularly appreciate adjacent Bourke Street parkland for more energetic exercise sessions. Little oasis delivers exactly what urban dwellers crave: accessible nature without weekend traffic city exodus.
