Toegang
Rice Nature Reserve is located alongside Thompsons Creek, 8 km north of Torquay and 15 km south of Geelong. There is a carpark as you come around the corner on the right if you are coming from McCanns Road along Horseshoe Bend Road. Press P on the map for directions to the carpark.
Farmland is on the left and I saw Flame Robin there one winter. I like to spend about an hour if I can to really explore and find any birds that might be around in that time.
