Contact Yatmerone Reserve
With over 30 species of birds living in the wetlands, Yatmerone is a popular bird-watching area providing a place where visitors can appreciate the local flora and fauna as well as catch a glimpse of native wildlife.
The Reserve is fed by a spring being one of few deep Fresh Water Marsh Wetlands in the area, and so provides a habitat and summer refuge for plants and animals. A trail along the edge of the reserve takes walkers through a small native parkland, providing plenty of opportunities to photograph the local flora and fauna.
A bird hide can be found only a few hundred metres down the trail and provides a place for bird watchers to observe the bird species as they go about their business. Completely hidden from their view, the bird hide provides a perfect place for photographers to capture birds and other wildlife.
The 13 hectares are designated for Nature Conservation and managed by Parks Victoria for the purpose of wildlife management.
