Lake Montgomery is one of Perth's most charming parks, located in Leederville, a suburb of Perth. This is the home of the famous black swan. The Black Swan is an important part of Western Australia's heritage. It is Australia's iconic animal. The city's main rivers are also named after this elegant waterbird. The native plants here enable the black swans to live in this natural environment. The lake is surrounded by spacious lawns, wooden walkways and bicycle lanes. To the west, there is an artificial bird breeding island. Because of its unique natural environment, black swans and many other flocks of water birds can be seen on the lake. It's also an ideal place for a picnic.
