Description
Although the waters of Lake Thetis appear to be somewhat nutrient deficient, interesting varieties of water associating birds may be found, along with a number of bushbirds. White-winged Fairywren is very reliable here. As well, the stromatolites occuring here are a major local attraction.
A well laid out boardwalk and viewing platform make this a very attractive place to visit.
