This walk will guide you through the vibrant wetland ecosystem which supports a wide range of plant and animal life. Learn more about the wetlands through our friendly and knowledgeable volunteer guide whilst walking alongside kangaroos and wallabies that populate the area or listen to the song of the plethora of bird species that make the Morang Wetlands their home.
