Hi Nick,

I think the swamp you are referring to is called 'Wet Lagoon'. It is a
wildlife refuge. There are usually several pairs of Swamp Harriers here
too.

I was out riding my bicycle on the backroad between Collector and
Bredalbane
on the weekend, and there are quite a lot of Pacific Herons on the swamp
that's just North of where the road passes underneath the Hume Highway. As
I
had no binoculars with me, I kept riding and didn't stop, but I saw at
least
20 or so.

There were also a pair of Grey Butcherbirds, just South of there, right
near
the highway underpass.
