Descripción
Ash Island is part of Hunter Wetlands National Park. In the 1960s, to facilitate industrial development, many Hunter River islands were amalgamated into one landmass, Kooragang Island. However, the western section is still referred to as Ash Island (it is named after the Blueberry Ash trees that once were abundant). Recent rehabilitation work has restored some of the lost habitat. More than 200 species of birds live here or pass through on their migration. The number and diversity of birds using Ash Island can vary considerably according to season, rainfall and the state of the tide.

There are several parkings. Press P on the map for directions for directions to a parking. At the Riverside Park parking (1) you'll find a picnic area, toilets and several paths leading off around Ash Island. They're all flat and wide.
