Mirrabooka, located only 12km north of Perth, has a unique bushland area that is worth walking through.

Bounded by Reid Hwy and Northwood Rd, this 85 hectare site of mainly banksia woodland, has some unusual sights that are a photographers delight. If you enjoy exploring various mushrooms then you will not be disappointed either.

Starting from Thyme Crt and following the sandy tracks you will discover a wild beehive not in a tree but below the tree.



If you carefully look along the ground you will notice several types of mushrooms growing. A common one is the Bolete meaning without gills. This one turns red inside if opened because contact with oxygen causes a chemical change.



The black gloved wallaby has been recorded as surviving here as well as quendas, a short nosed bandicoot.

Various birdlife have bee noted here including the rainbow bee-eater bird and red-tailed black cockatoos.

Most of the bushland is in excellent condition, though revegetation of the area is occurring through the Friends of , a new community conservation group, in partnership with the City of Stirling.

The land is currently owned and managed by the WA Planning Commission.
