Information

One of the few remaining high-country wetlands that's a summer stopover for the migratory Japanese snipe and home to many other waterbirds. Watch the birdlife from the viewing platform at the edge of the water. There are no marked walking tracks but it's possible to walk a short distance around the edge of the lagoon. The viewing platform is accessible by wheelchair from the adjacent carpark near the golf course. Access 37 km north of Armidale just off the New England Highway in south Guyra; 2WD sealed access.
