Dear Michael
My Wilson Reserve (and Mark Kliene's) is in Ivanhoe on banks of the
Yarra, off The Boulevard. Downstream from Burke Rd Bridge, past Ivanhoe
Golfcourse, on the shared bike/foot track. Two or three billabongs and
lots of riverside bush. Pity about the weeds but volunteers attack them.
Come and help on the 3rd Sunday of the month, 10 am! BYO tools, gloves.
Pretty good for birds (but they were better 20 years ago) and Azure
Kingfisher occasional but quite possible. Quite worth a visit.

I didnt know there was a Wilson Reserve down in Brighton.
