Morang Wetlands

We went to Morang Wetlands to see the Kangaroo mobs. We arrived on Friday, March 13 after 6:00 pm. Animals tend to eat at dusk. The signs for the park indicate that the park closes at 7:00 pm, so we had to make it quick. It was rainy and chilly, but we got out to try our luck. About 5 minutes into our stroll we came across about a group of 12 kangaroos and then a group of a few more. When reached a large field we found it full of kangaroos, maybe 40 or 50. We stayed back and watched them. Two kangaroos persistently boxed each other.Had we had more time and more enjoyable temperatures I would have loved to spend several hours exploring the wetlands further.

Easy walking with an abundance of kangaroos and waterbirds, keep your eyes peeled for raptors and a wealth of other bird life. No dogs and not suited to prams or wheelchairs

Nice terrain and nature. Lots of wildlife including kangaroos echidnas wombats swans. Easy location to get to by road. Short walk from parking area to the entrance to Wetlands tracks

This is the best place to see kangaroos around Melbourne. If you visit in the evening after around 6pm you will most likely see large groups of kangaroos grazing in the open fields. If you are really lucky you may even spot a fox or echidna.

A beautiful place to wander with walking tracks heading off into many different directions. Kangaroos abound and the birdlife is terrific.

Hidden gem in South Morang. Lots of wildlife and beautiful landscape. Easy walk.

Lovely wetlands with some decent gravel paths suitable for any bicycle (can be quite muddy after a good rain). There are some signage but overall an untouched piece of native bush with plenty of wildlife. One of the paths leads to the historical Le Page homestead and picnic grounds. Gorgeous veiws in Spring and Autumn with some old European trees.

This area is easily accessible from Hawkstowe rail station as there are numerous entrances along Wilton Vale road. On this visit we drove down to where a gate stops further access on Wilton Vale Road. This seemed to be a popular area for walkers and birdwatchers alike. We even came across a group of youths who had cycled down to the wetlands where they were enjoying fish and chips (Not sure where they bought it as there appeared to be no shops nearby). There are no public conveniences in this part of the park but plenty of signs to help guide you around this large area. We intend to visit again to explore some more as there appear to be a lot of walking track options.

Nice and relaxing walk, spot a group of kangaroos, love sitting by the pond watching ducks. Wear waterproof footwear on/after a wet day.

Lovely spot to see some wildlife. Not so many people around at all. Really peaceful. Highly recommend if you like a quiet walk with pretty landscape.
