Woo-la-ra and the Silverwater Marker

Woo-la-ra is two constructed, grassed elevated landforms: the conical Silverwater Marker and the naturalistic hill known as Woo-la-ra. Pedestrian/cycle paths lead to Woo-la-ra’s summit and provide 360-degree views of the adjacent Newington Nature Reserve, surrounding suburbs and parklands.

The grasslands of Woo-la-ra provide a habitat for birds not found in other types of vegetation. Listen for Quails and Cisticolas that shelter and nest amongst the tall grasses – these small birds are only found in grassland habitats such as Woo-la-ra.

While you’re on the edge of Woo-la-ra, Look up! Can you see a raptor hovering over the grassy slopes?
