By Birding-Aus, on July 27th, 2016 We passed by this water body recently. It is marked on many maps (and is an eBird Hotspot) but I couldn’t work out how to access it. All possible access points seemed to be private, largely due to biosecurity concerns on banana farms. I asked a couple of local folk, one of whom wasn’t aware . . . → Read More: Nardello’s Lagoon
