Thank you to the wildlife photography enthusiasts who took part in "Wild Mundaring" Photography Competiton 2023.  With over 600 submissions of impressive, high-quality images, the competition has been an overwhelming success.  Eighteen local photography enthusiasts have been named winners across six categories. 

The winning photos will be included in a Wildlife of the Perth Hills booklet, as well as additional species photos that were submitted in the competition. All selected photos will include photo credit. Once published, the booklet will become a free resource for the community with the purpose of increasing awareness of the wildlife that lives among us and the habitats they require. This booklet will be available on our website later this year and will be available as a free hardcopy resource in 2024.  

The competition was judged by respected author, teacher and naturalist Eric McCrum and Operations Officer Fauna Conservation at Perth Hills District, Karen Jackson with the assistance of team members from the Shire’s Environment team.
