Come on a guided walk through a bird watchers' paradise



Now is the perfect time of year to visit the Maroochy Wetlands Sanctuary in Bli Bli - the cooler months promise less mozzies, which makes it far more tempting to visit and to spend time outdoors, enjoying the spectacular surrounds of the Wetlands.

The stunning Maroochy Wetlands Sanctuary is rich in biodiversity, with a kilometre of beautifully maintained boardwalks that meander through eucalypt forest, rainforest, melaleuca forest, casuarina woodland, salt marsh and mangroves, making for an easy and leisurely stroll. Local First Nation’s people call casuarinas 'bilai' - to make plurals, they repeated the name, 'bilai bilai' which is how Bli Bli got its name - Bli Bli means many casuarinas.



Providing significant habitat for many amazing species of birds, from the beautiful Azure Kingfisher to the stately Royal Spoonbill, the Maroochy Wetlands Sanctuary is a sanctuary for local as well as migratory birds. Join expert birder, Rob Kernot, for a guided walk through the Sanctuary to see what winged wonders you might find in this bird watcher’s paradise.

Please come dressed for a walk outdoors with comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen and insect repellent. Please bring your own water bottle and your own binoculars (if you have them).
This walk is suitable for all ages. Walk numbers are limited and bookings essential.
