Hi !
 
I would highly recommended a trip to Tuross Lake as soon as poss if you like waders. There are hundreds there at the moment with R Turnstones, R Neck stints, Redcaps, Red Knots, Sanderlings, Bar T Godwits, curlews, A Broad-Billed Sandpiper and some tattlers with Little Terns nesting also.  The lake is at its best ever as it has been blocked for 2 yrs and the water level has dropped making it a wader paradise.  Drive down the road into Tuross Head until you come to the T junction. Turn right and drive down the hill app 1.5 klm, turn left into Tuross Blv and park in the small car park there.  Take your shoes off ,go paddle and look until your heart's content as I doubt if you'll see these conditions any where on the south coast for a long while.

Ps - take a drink and something to eat with you as it's a guarantee you'll be there for a while
