Yarra Glen Billabong Reserve, Vic, Australia - Birdwatching Locations on Waymarking.com

While you would be able to find the birds mentioned on the sign in many other locations, here you find them going about 'their daily business' of raising a family in the protection of the reeds.

From the information sign at the billabong end of the platform:
"Many birds live in and visit this place including: Pelicans, White-faced Herons, Wood Ducks, Black Ducks, Grey Teal, Chestnut Teal and Purple Swamphen. Smaller birds include Blue Wren, Reed-warblers, Latham's Snipe and the Golden-headed Cisticola. Occasionally Black-shouldered Kites hover overhead."

There is a broad wooden board as a rail, which is useful for resting your camera or binoculars on.

Access: enter at the sign for the Yarra Glen Reserve - (visit link) [S 37° 39.663' E 145° 22.508'] there is an alternate entry from the south of the billabong.
