Hasties Swamp National Park

This small but significant wetland is flooded during the wet season. As it dries out it becomes an important refuge for waterbirds. A two-storey bird hide has wheelchair access and is big enough to hold school groups.

Observe the birds from the comfort of the hide, using the signs as a guide to species identification. At least 220 bird species have been recorded here, mainly in the wetland and open woodland.

Pacific black ducks, wandering whistling-ducks, hardheads, green pygmy-geese, pink-eared ducks and various egrets and ibis feed here. Sarus cranes roost in the dry season. Learn about the history of the area from interpretive signs.
