Am I reading correctly that no entry is allowed to Nombinnie and Round Hill Nature Reserves?

Thanks, yes I did get some great birds. I did sleep in my car for one night at round hill. There were a few flowering plants and plenty of honeyeaters but Parrot species were scarce. Highlights for me were Grey Falcon at Broken Hill and Mallee
Emu-wren and Malleefowl at Hattah Np, Vic. A great trip regardless.

That's a shame Shorty, though I'm sure you still found some fabulous birds.
Over the last several wet years, the Sewage Ponds at Lake C have been pretty ordinary. The ephemeral wetlands along Lake Cargelligo Rd to the east of the town have provided much better birding. I am sure you visited those wetlands. Another birder who
was there a few weeks ago said there was still water in them.
As for track closures out at Round Hill/Nombinnie, there is plenty of good birding to be had just slowly driving and walking along Round Hill Rd. And the walk into Whoey Tanks is a nice one. You camped there I think? Would have been lovely.
I say all of the above with optimism because Sue Beatty and I are going out there next week and hope for great things!

PS The same birder said there was not much in flower at Round Hill/Nombinnie, so not many honeyeaters. Did you find that?

Hi All,
I have not long got back from a road trip and saw some great birds, But it was disappointing to find out that the only access now to the LC treatment ponds is to the useless hide, the tracks either side have a sign stating no entry :(
I have since found out that we are not allowed on the fire trails on round hill, Whohey Tanks and Old Wheat Paddock for example, just the main roads.
Looks like LC is off my places to go from now on.
