  • There are public toilets.
  • There are no power points.

For the birds in wetlands photoshoot, please meet in the main carpark near the community centre 6.45am before heading off to the trail. 
The signs say to be beware of snakes, so along with a hat, sunscreen and water, it would be a good idea to wear long pants and closed in footwear.
Of course, if a group of people want to go earlier they can  – the gates to the main area are open at 6.00am and close at 6.30pm.
The signs do recommend not walking by oneself though.

There are many species of birds and a good population of them in the wetlands.

Sunrise that day is 6.05am. For the ultra-keen, there is a second entrance at 455 Bowhill Rd (further east from the main entrance) that is accessible 24 hours.

Please remember to sign on with MGPS when you arrive.
