Directions: This small lagoon in the heart of the suburb of Sandgate is know to many bird watchers as Sandgate Lagoon. The UBD, however, shows it as Dowse Lagoon. Approach it from the city by Sandgate Rd or Handford Rd and turn right into Depot Rd. It can also be approached form the Gateway Motorway.
Whatever you call it, the lagoon is good for ducks with Australasian Shovellers, Magpie Geese, and Whistle-Ducks being reported regularly. Glossy Ibis are also seen here.
Sandgate Lagoon is conveniently close to the Redcliffe Peninsula Area and the sea at Bramble Bay.
