Beschreibung
Kinnairds Wetland is a beautiful wetland fed by flows from the Muckatah Surface Water Management Scheme, which has a 600 km² catchment, beginning in Yarrawonga. The natural and constructed areas of the wetland act as a retarding basin. This aids in filtering sediments and nutrients, and minimises the rate of flows entering the Broken Creek to the south, which eventually flows into the Murray River in the Barmah Forest.
You can see spoonbills, ducks, ibis, herons and cormorants, but also small birds such as Scarlet Robin and watch overhead for birds of prey including Wedge-tailed Eagle, Whistling Kite and Peregrine Falcon.
