About the Walking Trail
Subject to flooding
The walking trail is subject to flooding in winter months.
This walk at Murray Lagoon offers the visitor a tea-tree swamp experience. Waterfowl such as ducks, swans and waders flock to the lagoon to create a bird-lovers delight. Hawks and eagles prey upon the waterfowl, while chats and little grassbirds sing among the thickly vegetated shorelines.
During drought years and late in the summer the best views of Murray Lagoon can be seen from the Bald Hill Walk and Curly Creek Hike.
