Ibis Rookery, Kerang, Victoria

Purple Swamphens, Kerang, Victoria

Whenever we travel through Kerang in north west Victoria we try to make time to stop at the Ibis Rookery. This is part of a series of lakes fed by the River Murray. It is an important wetland area and supports large numbers of water birds.

The rookery itself is a few kilometres north of the town on the way to Swan Hill. It is about a kilometre off the main road with easy access to the picnic ground. A short two minute walk from the car park gets one to the bird hide, complete with a telescope for birders – and the general public – to use.
