RFI Hawkesbury Marsh, Sydney, NSW

[Carol Probets <>]

Nikolas,

Two good sites near Lithgow: The Lithgow sewage ponds always have a 
few Blue-billed Ducks these days, in addition to Pink-ears, 
Shovelers, etc. Access isn't allowed into the actual site but you can 
view from the road into the rubbish tip off Geordie Street.
Lake Wallace at Wallerawang is a surefire site for Musk Ducks and all 
3 species of grebe, with the chance of crakes if the water level is 
right.
Cheers,

Carol
