Goulburn Wetlands

Excellent place to relax in a fine day

A protected Wetlands meaning any of the animals that frequent this vast acreage are not to be tampered with and respected, just a suggestion . I also met some residence of Goulburn , bird watchers- photographers eagerly gave me information about redbreasted Robins. I did glimpse tiny wrens in the dense tree's of the Candle Banksia's a good amount of birds. They had a protected space . Its an easy flat walk around the dam with lots of written material about the scrub, woodlands, things to look out for Aboriginal named creature's , plants living in the pasture's . Even the canals in a couple of sections . In the woodlands there are Kangaroo's that are cheeky enough to graze on the next door golf course. All in all a natural landscape , sandy walking paths that are wheel chair appropriate, sufficient car parking , shaded seating area's, seated hide sheds with tin corrugated walls for avid photographers , artists and scrabble players . Plenty to see and do . Highly recommend it , at the foot hills of the war memorial hill.

Landscaping and planting towards ecological principles. Bird watches and signage. Limited facilities; no toilets.The wetlands were built over an abandoned brickworks to better manage silt. Limited paths allow bird watchers, field naturalists, families and exercisers to enjoy the ponds and planted areas. Sheltered picnic areas.In time, planted areas will grow and become more self sustaining; but for now, it is more a native garden.

So unexpected, great walks with viewing areas to see the birds

Nice little park/wetland in Goulburn. Two different easy pathsthrough the area with a lot of information signs about the flora and fauna. Lots of animals, including a troop of kangaroos that has taken up residence. Also several Bird Hides for your early morning bird spotting.

I nice place to walk around to see some wildlife that doesn't appear terrified of humans

The bird hide looking onto the large lake, is great. I liked the information poster about birdlife found in the area. I saw a black & white striped honeyeater with a yellow-striped tail. No snakes sighted. Heard the frogs. Had a pleasant walk. Many interesting wildflowers and ponds.

An easy walk around a man made lake. Water was low so not very nice, not many birds, and not much to do. The weir is a better walk.

Easy walking through a regenerated native bushland area. No unusual birds in April, but still a pleasant walk - quite a large mob of kangaroos in the reserve.
