BE ADVISED THAT THE HIDE WILL REOPEN FROM SATURDAY 4 JULY
Significant rain is starting to fill the Edithvale basin with shallow coverage around the island and an extensive marsh area in front of the Hide.
A large number of Black Swans have moved in and are meandering around checking out nesting sites. and the replenished vegetation supply.
This transition time from dry to significant standing water only lasts a short time. We are open again weekends from 1 pm Saturday 4th of July.
