Lake Monger

Lake Monger is a large urban wetland on the Swan Coastal Plain in suburban Perth, Western Australia nestled between the suburbs of Leederville, Wembley and Glendalough.

The lake is presently used extensively for recreation as well as being a major tourist attraction with up to 12,000 visitors per week (Middle, 1988). Activities include bird watching and exercise.

A 3.5 km paved walking/cycling track encircles the lake which takes about 30 minutes to traverse by foot.

After going to church on Sunday, and a nice visit with Dad and Iris, we went to Lake Monger.

John knew here I could find a black swan here, my first chance to see one not within a zoo.

The Black Swan (Cygnus atratus) is a large waterbird, a species of swan, which breeds mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia.
