The Wanneroo wetlands are a series of wetlands, swamps and lakes that occur on the Swan Coastal Plain of Perth, Western Australia.[1][2] They are linked very closely to the Gnangara Mound.[3]
They are in part, incorporated into the Yellagonga Regional Park and also referred to as Yellagonga wetlands.[4]
