Whiteman Park

June has arrived and Whiteman Park is still the perfect excuse to head outdoors, with the cooler days making it even more inviting. From cosy museum visits to wildlife encounters and vintage train rides, there’s plenty happening across the Park this month. Here’s what’s you can explore 👇

Revolutions Quiet Hour
Enjoy a more relaxed museum experience with low-sensory ‘Quiet Hour’ sessions from 2.30pm–3.30pm at Revolutions Transport Museum. Explore the exhibits at your own pace with reduced lighting and sound on Wednesday 17 & Monday 29 June.

🚐 Whiteman Explorer Tour
Hop aboard a vintage bus Mondays at 11.00am and 1.00pm to discover the Park’s history and highlights without having to walk in the winter chill.

🚜 Tractor Parade
On Sunday 14 June at 1.15pm, watch historic tractors roll through the Park as they make their way from the Tractor Museum of WA - Inc to Revolutions Transport Museum and back again.

Winter days at Caversham Wildlife Park
Winter is the perfect time to visit Caversham Wildlife Park — meet the wildlife without the crowds, hand-feed kangaroos on the central lawns, and enjoy quality time with the keepers.

🏛️ Museums of Whiteman Park
Spend a cosy day exploring the collections at Motor Museum of WA, Tractor Museum of WA and Revolutions Transport Museum — all packed with fascinating stories from WA’s transport history (and nice and warm indoors!).

🚂 Vintage train rides
On select weekends, journey through our banksia woodlands with Bennett Brook Railway enjoying the sights and sounds of the vintage steam trains in this much-loved winter experience. Call us on 9209 6000 on the day of your visit if you wish to check whether they are operating.

🌿 Wet weather adventures at Children's Forest
Rainy days are no problem here — just rug up and explore the bushland trails, fairy doors and native wildlife in a whole new winter setting. Don't forget to download one of our activity sheets before you visit.

Happy World Parrot Day from the our most vibrant parrot visitor: the red-capped parrot!

You’ll often spy the broad-tailed parrots using their long bill that is perfectly shaped for nomming on seeds from marri ‘honkey nuts’ and other eucalyptus fruits, throughout the parklands and bushland.

Have you been lucky enough to spot the colourful red-capped parrots in the Park? A massive thanks to for this stunning snap! 🦜

Cooler days at Whiteman Park are calling! 🍃 Whether you’re up for a leisurely stroll, a picnic with friends, or letting your pup stretch their legs, there’s something for everyone this season.

If you’re bringing your doggos for a visit, remember that your four-legged friends must stay on-leash outside the fenced Dog Park. 🐾 But for off-leash fun, head inside the Dog Park, open daily 8.30am to 6pm, with shady spots, water stations, a mini obstacle course, and a dedicated area for small dogs under 10kg. 🐕🌳

There’s no better excuse to enjoy golden sunshine, crisp mornings, and fresh air at Whiteman Park.

✨ Spotted: the elegant white-faced heron at Horse Swamp. 🪶

Captured beautifully by Peter Caddy, this dreamy moment shows just how magical the Park can be—especially when the water mirrors every detail of this graceful bird. It’s the kind of quiet, blink-and-you-miss-it encounter that makes exploring here so special.

From birdlife to bushland surprises, there’s always something to discover around every corner. What wildlife have you spotted at Whiteman Park lately?

Drop your photos in the comments, we’d love to see! 👇

🍁 The last days of Djeran/Autumn are here—time to soak up every autumn moment!

This season has been full of events, sunny days, crisp morning walks, quiet wildlife spotting, and the serene beauty of our wetlands. While we’ll miss the constant sunshine (the hot days less so! wink ), we can’t wait to see Park burst to life with the coming rains, making the bush and wetlands lush and vibrant in the cooler weather.

Today marks International Day for Biological Diversity 🌱 and this year’s theme, ‘Acting locally for global impact,’ is a fantastic reminder of how the small actions we take in our own backyards can add up to meaningful change for biodiversity worldwide.

Here at the Park, we’re celebrating the ongoing successes of our annual tree planting and fauna breeding programs. Each year, we continue to make progress—one step at a time—in actively boosting the biodiversity of our banksia woodland. From woylies to wallabies, curlews to cockatoos, skinks to snakebush, every animal and plant plays a vital role in our ecosystem.

Small actions, like those you can undertake at home, really do matter too! Whether you’re planting a native shrub, keeping your pet cat safely indoors, or creating a mini wetland to welcome frogs, every little effort helps to support and protect our local biodiversity. Together, these steps create ripples that reach far and wide.

Whiteman Park relies on a highly valued group of volunteers. In fact, they are the heart of the Park, with over 600 volunteers giving their time to support and operate our various attractions. 💚

Through different organisations, the Park offers an amazing range of volunteering roles and opportunities, meaning there is a role that suits just about everyone!

In fact, we have six great reasons why you should consider volunteering at Whiteman Park, where transport heritage meets natural bushland. Plus, you can join us to learn more about the volunteer opportunities in the Park at a Recruitment Session this Saturday too. 🫶
