Goulburn Wetlands

Great place for a stop after driving. We found a sheltered seat to eat fish and chips. There was walkways.

Everything I visit the wetlands it gets a little bit more interesting and pretty. More birds, some landscaping, and the gardens becoming more established, all adding to the lovely walk around.

Perfect place to stop and have a break while passing by Goulburn. Plenty of shady trees, many blinds/hides to observe the wildlife. Grab some chips from the Empire (Best chips in Goulburn)

What a great area to walk around, good to see kangaroos (some big ones!) soaking up the sun. Excellent bird watching facilities.

A nice stroll in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle.

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; seats but no water.
In time, planted areas will grow and become more self sustaining; but for now, it is more a garden of native plants.

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.
