Parry Creek Rd, Wyndham, 6740
At Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve you can view a wealth of tropical birds and crocodiles from the bird hide and boardwalk at Marlgu Billabong.
The area is an important waterbird feeding and breeding area. It is also a stopover point for migratory waders, some of which travel from as far afield as Siberia. Over 160 species of birds have been recorded at Marlgu Billabong.
Both the boardwalk and bird hide are wheelchair accessible.
Access can be seasonal as the roads are prone to flooding in the wet.
The Parry Creek Nature Reserve is listed as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention and is listed on the Register of the National Estate.
