PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE HIDE WILL CLOSE THIS WEEKEND AND REMAIN CLOSED AS THE WETLAND ENTERS ITS DRY PERIOD.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PARK OF THE NATURAL CYCLE FOR GRASSES AND PLANTS TO GROW IN THE FERTILE MUD AND PROVIDE FOOD FOR THE NEXT WET SEASON.
WE WILL INFORM YOU ALL WHEN WE WILL OPEN AGAIN ON WEEKENDS, BUT THIS IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF OUR CLIMATE AND REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL.
