Description
The Tahbilk Wetlands and Wildlife Reserve comprises some 1,214 hectares of river flats with an 11 km frontage to the Goulburn River and 8 km of permanent backwaters and creeks. Their warm, slow moving, water is a haven for indigenous flora and fauna. In 1995 the first steps were taken to regenerate the wetland through the addition of understory vegetation. Planted to provide habitat necessary to attract greater numbers of native birds and animals. Prior to opening in 2005 these efforts were complemented by nature walking paths, timber boardwalks and two bird hides. You can observe many birds along the paths and from one of the bird hides along the route.
