Information

This picnic area with table and benches is for day use only. Situated to the east of Mount Garnet along the Wurruma Swamp Road, the swamp retains water long after other local wetlands have dried up and is used for a water supply to the township.

Wurrumba Swamp attracts an amazing range of bird life and at certain times of the year there are literally thousands of blacks swans on the waters.
