Bushy Park Wetlands, Nature reserve in Glen Waverley, Victoria, Australia.

The 30-hectare wetland area features permanent water sources and habitats along Dandenong Creek, supporting more than 150 bird species and native wildlife.

The land, originally inhabited by the Woiworung Aboriginal tribe, was named Bushy Park in the 1840s when Reverend James Clow established a pastoral lease.

The bird watching hide serves as an educational center where visitors can observe pelicans, spoonbills, herons, egrets, and numerous other bird species.

Visitors can access the wetlands through marked trails from Highbury Road or Drummies Bridge Reserve, connecting to the broader Dandenong Creek Trail system.

Cattle continue grazing in designated sections of the wetlands, maintaining grass levels while preserving the traditional agricultural practices of the area.
