Hike summary

The track around the perimeter of the wetlands takes 15-20 minutes to walk. The man-made wetlands were established by Clarence Council to trap and treat stormwater from it's surrounds in Lauderdale. The wetlands consists of a series of channels and bioretention basins which allow water to be filtered by planted native rushes and sedges. The area has been transformed to a vibrant wetland community which hosts a variety of insects, birds, native mammals, fish and other fresh water aquatic biota. The walk connects to the Tangara Trail at the southern end of Roscommon Reserve.

If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
