the Wetland

wetlands containing over 320 plant species, more than 20% of Perth's
flora in just 0.005% of Perth's area. The wetlands hosts plant communities
and species that are rare and endangered.
Brixton Street Wetlands lie on a very flat waterlogged
Pinjarra Plain that lies at the base of the Darling Range. Over
97% of the bushland on these waterlogged soil have been cleared
for agriculture or housing, making Brixton Street Wetland so important.
