Hi Peter,
The Discovery Centre has been built in what was previously the overflow
carpark which is the one that is further away from the bay than the carpark
with the bird hide and viewing platform. The hide is permanently closed due
to safety issues and Melbourne Water have decided that they don't have the
money to rebuild it. I believe the current proposal is to expand the
viewing platform and allow the Discovery Centre to be open on Sunday
afternoons as long as it staffed by volunteers from Friends of Edithvale
Wetlands. The problem with the location of the centre is that there is a
chance of sun glare in the afternoons due to the placement of the building,
however I have only been inside once, in the morning.
Regards,
Tania

The Edithvale hide is permanently closed, isn't it? Where is this one in
relation to it, do we have access, and is the location suitable?

I have to say the texture of the walls reminds me more of the ripples on the
sea floor rather than rhinoceros skin, but it's an architectural review, so
not to be taken too seriously.
