Dolphins are regularly spotted in the calm waters in the centre of Mandurah. You can see them while dining alfresco by the waterfront or just strolling along the foreshore. Some residents say that you are almost 100% guaranteed to see a dolphin at the Dawesville Cut as they have never once walked their dogs here without seeing a dolphin.
Kangaroos can often be spotted grazing on the reserves at Melros Beach and Florida Beach in the late afternoon. You can also spot them close-up near the picnic area at Serpentine Falls National Park.
Lake Clifton is a great place to spot emus. They can often be seen walking along the lake shores.
Black swans are native to Southern Western Australia and can be seen massing between October and March at Lake Pollard at Yalgorup National Park.
Red-tailed black cockatoos are also native to Southern Western Australia and can be seen high up in the trees from the Emu Walk Trail that leads from Dwellingup town centre to the Forest Discovery Centre.
