One of our regular walking spots is along Bannister Creek in Lynwood. There is a footpath/bicycle path which is suitable for prams, and it follows along the length of the creek with several bridge crossings along the way.
There are quite often ducks swimming in the creek, and plenty of birds singing in the surrounding trees. It is a great place for some nature based education, as there are signs of the flora and fauna of the area, built into the path. Try to find the animals and plants as you go! My 2 year old loves to point out all of the bottle-brushes, and enjoys going over the bridges to do some duck spotting.
There are some educational worksheets focusing on waterways on the SERCUL website (http://www.sercul.org.au/incursions.html) if you are so inclined.

| Information on the area |
The City of Canning is currently constructing a nature based playground at the intersection of the creek and Iveston Road, which I am looking forward to seeing the completed product. Looks like it will become an even more regular walking route for us!

There is no designated parking at the creek, but it can be easily accessed by verge side street parking at any of the streets nearby.
