Conditions at Barmah?

["Elizabeth Shaw" <>]

Hi Jeremy,
Barmah was closed last weekend and probably will be for a while - check the 
Parks Victoria web site.  You can still get into Lake Barmah, but that's 
about all.  All the toilets and the Info Centre were closed.  We had a great 
walk along Broken Creek with Plumed Whistle-ducks and a few Sacred 
Kingfisher and other interesting birds.  Also the nearby disused quarry in 
John's Bridge Road.  Check the sites out on the Echuca and District BOCA 
website.
Don't go into the Barmah Forest from Trickey's Lane though.

Nearby Mathoura is good though.  The bird hide at the reed beds was great 
for mating displays of  Great Crested Grebe and Musk Duck and you can walk 
along Gulpa Creek.
