Cattana Wetlands

Paths form a grid almost like a formal garden with some flower beds replaced with lakes. Designed to impress and succeeds in it.nThe main lake looks like a vast floodplain, the shaded area is a deep forest and clearings are meadows. Habitats are presented on a scale that wildlife can live there yet the whole area could be covered on foot in an hour, could be without stopping which is hard to do with so so much to see.

Beautiful area to walk through, and each of the lakes has its own character. Great place for birding. There can also be some crocodiles around, but we didn’t see any. Make sure you bring some mozzie spray, some areas were pretty bad with insects.

An absolutely beautiful flora/fauna wetlands and reserve. As a keen bird photographer, I would thoroughly recommend it to other bird photographers. Do ensure that you have insect repellent though, as the mozzies are in abundance!

Excellent placenNice well laid out walking tracksnMost would be fine for wheelchair accessnNice bbq and picnic areas available

This is one of my favourite places to be when I want to get away from the hustle and bustle. Also to do some macro photography. It’s a stunning place featuring a couple of billabongs, a boardwalk and walk though the “wetlands”, as the name suggests. There’s a whole variety of birds that come to the water holes. It’s amazing how even after being right in the middle of suburbia and right next to highway, you manage to find peace and quiet in this place.
