Hi Con
 
I agree with the speculation that the choice of this seemingly poor nesting site would have been triggered by the lack of regular swamps in the district. For example, there is now water lying in Rowe's Lagoon. When they first started breeding, it was dry. So it makes sense that they tried something different.
 
Cheers
