G'day,
Just a friendly little tip that may avert some of this.
With few exceptions, if you type in the place name on any Search engine (for 
search in Australia), you will find adequate information about the place in 
question.

In this instance, you would find pictures of the Edithvale Wetlands and some 
stats on bird numbers etc at:

On another occasion, someone queried me on where was the Suspension bridge at 
Northbridge, where I found a pair of Peregrine falcons.
The search engine yields the following, including a picture of the bridge:
