Lake Wollumboola

This location is a great spot for waders and terns. In 2015 birdwatchers came all the way from around Australia to see the Wite-rumped Sandpiper. At present the local birding community are in the process of having it classified as an IBA site due to the number of Black Swans (14,000) and Eurasion coots. During the summer months the little terns are found breeding on the sand dunes.
