Descrizione
Wonga Wetlands is an ecosystem of lagoons and billabongs covering 80 hectares of Murray River flood plain, 6 kilometres west of Albury. Wonga is home to a variety of wildlife and century old river red gums and an Indigenous scar tree. In Winter you’ll find the wetlands full to capacity. Over Spring the water starts to recede exposing muddy shorelines which attracts hundreds of wading birds. During Summer the water levels reduce and may dry out completely and as Autumn arrives and temperatures drop the wetlands are again flooded and life begins all over.
The constant wetting and drying cycle of the wetlands attracts many birds. Wetland birds you can observe are Egrets, Spoonbills, Cormorants, Darters, Swamphens, Cootes, as well as Dollar Birds, Sacred Kingfishers, Reed Warblers, Yellow Rosellas, Tree creepers, birds of prey etc.
