Extensive information about this important site is available on the link below at the 'visit us' page. Maps and detailed instructions regarding personal safety requirements (note that this is a remote site; becoming lost is a danger), camping options (campers need to be fully self-contained) and information on the numerous tracks and walks are provided.
Also refer to the Tim Dolby link for detailed descriptions of a number of birding opportunities.
The Reserve has five very well designed hides (see map) overlooking bird waterers - these provide excellent photography opportunities. The hides each contain an impressive list of birds that have been observed at site.
