Balyang Sanctuary

Great spot to see water birds, and to have a picnic. Toilets available, and little walks around the sanctuary are gorgeous.

Lovely spot with walks along the river and ponds. Lots of birds and trees. Gorgeous.

Came here for play group and it’s stunning!! My two babies absolutely loved the nature walk and ducks/birds. The trees are so incredibly special, old and beautiful. There is also an amazing cafe not far. Definitely a favourite spot now.

One of my favourite places to walk around, explore, have a picnic,..or just escape from everything for a while. Always neat, clean, and the birds which live there are amazing. There's always Pelicans or ducks to see, and the serenity of the Barwon River tops it all. You have to visit here at least once.

Great for family picnic and quality time with little ones.

Loved the area, the ducks and wildlife are a bonus. Beautiful spot for photos on a nice sunny day

BeautifulSo many beautiful trees, beautiful birds and walking tracksIt's great for the kids, if you want alone time in nature or if you want some exercise.Honestly it's so beautifulI could spend all day here.Heaps of parking at many different car parks

It was a awesome experience there were toilets lovely walking trails well manicured lawns just picture perfect it was dog friendly and awesome picnic areas with lots of tables

I really like walking around the tracks here. However, the cyclists often make it dangerous, especially if you are walking with young kids who aren't great at walking to the left.

Balyang Sanctuary is a beautiful , Peaceful Bird Sanctuary with walking/running & Bike riding tracks surrounding the area (alongside the Barwon river)This local beauty, has clean, modern toilet blocks , free on site car parks & has wooden bridges that allows visitors to walk over the water, and explore around the sanctuary. Wooden Park Benches , Tables & Gazebo Areas Are On site.Signage Asks that visitors & tourists “Do Not Feed The Birds” So please respect the rules if you do get to visit this wonderful little outdoor space.Green Rubbish Bins are located in the car park /toilet area - so do the right thing and put rubbish where it belongs :)Soo many different types of water birds & ducks you will find around this park site , soo be sure to bring your camera.I use balyang sanctuary as a space for clearing the mind & relaxing by embracing the scenery. Area attracts Elderly , Families , tourists , Active Persons (Who Walk/Run/Ride along the riverside tracks) aswell as photographers.In the wet season/ wet days, this area tends to flood out (I have put up a picture of what it looks like once the rainy weather hits - quite fascinating when you’re not used to seeing the beautiful , green grass area 3/4 under water)
