Opis

The Goolwa Wastewater Treatment Plant (also known as Kessell Road Ponds) is a few minutes outside of Goolwa on Kessell Road. Goolwa WTP features a series of expansive, well-maintained ponds surrounded by grassy banks and native vegetation. These habitats create a diverse ecosystem that supports a variety of bird species and other wildlife year-round.

Throughout the seasons, you can spot a range of interesting bird species. In spring, birds like the Pied Stilt and Red-kneed Dotterel return, while summer often sees large flocks of Australian Pelican and various ducks, such as the Pacific Black Duck or rarer species such as the Blue-billed Duck and Freckled Duck.
