For the brush fencing variety
slot, why not install vertical slots rather than
horizontal?

refurbishment at Jerrabomberra Wetlands
From what I have seen in North
America, Europe and elsewhere in Australia the usual
process is to have slots of different heights or slots
at the same heights or platforms to overcome issues
for the height challenged. The potential cost
involved in fabricating something height adjustable
could be alarming.

Chris,
may I suggest that, if any brushfencing
is involved, some of the viewing slots
be positioned at appropriate heights for
different sized persons?
All three of the slots at Bittern Hide
are just too low for comfortable
standing and viewing by a c.180 cm tall
person (stooping on bent and ageing
knees does not encourage an extended
view!).
thanks

Hi,
For those who have
visited the Jerrabomberra Wetlands
recently you would have noticed the
renovation work in and around the bird
hides at Kelly’s Swamp. Work will be
starting on the Tadorna and Fulica
bird hides (the two on the Causeway
side of Jerrabomberra Creek) tomorrow
and they expect to be completed over
Xmas. The work will be similar to
that on the 3 hides around Kelly’s.
