Beschrijving

Waterbird Lagoon is a Murray-Darling Basin wildlife haven. Many bird species flock to this lagoon when its semi-permanent waterholes fill with water. Nestled among rushes at the edge of one of the lagoons, the two-level bird hide provides views over the wetlands. Numerous waterbirds such as ducks, herons, cormorants, darters, ibis, spoonbills and Nankeen Night-Heron, as well as birds in the surrounding bush. Migrating birds stop here as they head north or south. Often White-bellied Sea-Eagle can be seen soaring overhead.
