miles there are great little coffee shops and restaurants excellent state parks and wonderful landscapes and two ramsar listed wetlands of international importance best visited in the warmer months when thousands of migratory birds call the area home even in the middle of winter there was plenty to see although this winter was unusual as there was still quite a lot of water after last years floods the wetlands can be dry at this time the facilities at fivebough and tuckerbill swamps suffered quite a bit of damage during the floods but the walking tracks hides and seating have been
