Bird Viewing - Cromarty
The Cromarty wetlands are a vital breeding and feeding ground for Magpie Geese and serve as dry ‘playgrounds’ for the Brolga. Throughout the year, this wetland system hosts around 255 species of birds, 51 species of reptiles, 44 species of mammals, and countless invertebrates.
The main wetland, known as Wongaloo, meaning “quiet waters” in the Aboriginal language, adjoins the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. It forms the core of one of the largest coastal wetland complexes in eastern Australia. The Cromarty wetlands are just over a 30-minute drive from Ayr.
