This is the third year that the City of Wanneroo has run the competition, with almost 260 photographs submitted, an increase of 150 per cent on last year.

Butler resident Mark Hyland won the overall adult prize for his Yellagonga Regional Park photo Perry’s Bunkhouse while category winners included Alison Toner (Sorrento), and one of the second prizes went to Joondalup resident Len Stewart for 10th Light Horse Trail.

Mayor Tracey Roberts said the competition encouraged people to get out and visit places of interest in the City of Wanneroo during summer.
