There are a lot of interesting things to do and see at the habitat, but you are requested to please refrain from feeding the birds. Special features for bird watchers include observation platforms and floating islands, and you can use the hide on the island in the South Lake to quietly view the wild birds at close quarters. Sedges, rushes, water buttercups and many other Australian water plants grow in the habitat, all of which provide excellent photo opportunities. Bring a picnic lunch - picnic tables and seats are provided but no barbecue facilities. The paved pathway allows easy wheelchair access.
Admission is free.
Erected at the site today is an authentic shingle hut as described in his books. Whilst you're in the district, drop in on the 100 year old pub, where the hosts have a terrific collection of pioneer photographs and memorabilia. Picnic Point Picnic Point is a lovely park, playground and picnic area, and the starting point for walks. Perched on the edge of the Great Dividing Range, Picnic Point affords magnificent views to the east. There is also a licenced restaurant for those who want more than a picnic at the Point.
