Lake Cronin - WA

Lake Cronin is a semi-permanent freshwater wetland with its catchment mostly intact and is listed as a nationally important wetland. The lake is part of the Lake Cronin Nature Reserve which features a day use area but no camping.

When the lake occasionally fills with water there can be large numbers of Grey Teals, Pink-eared Ducks, Australian Shelducks and Black-tailed native hens. The vegetation of the surround area supports a variety of birds including the Western Rosella, Striated Pardalote and Blue-breasted Fairy-wren.

Lake Cronic is listed by Birdlife Australia as one of 8 important sites in the Southern Great Western Woodlands to visit. For more information see their online brochure at GWW Bird Guide Southern
