Lake Clarendon

Directions:
  Follow the Warrego Highway from Brisbane towards Toowoomba and Gatton. Go past Plainland and the turn off to Glenore Grove.
There will be a signed turn to the right to Lake Clarendon. Follow Lake Clarendon Road, at the end turn right into Lake Clarendon Way and
almost immediately left into Upper Greenswamp. You will see the dam to the left and there is a parking lot with covered picnic tables
and toilets on the left a hundred meters afterwards.

Lake Clarendon, in April 2002, was host to a Banded Stilt, one of the few Queensland records. Other notable birds seen regularly here are Black
Falcon (a pair is resident) and Banded Lapwing and Plum-headed Finches as well as the more common birds such as Avocets and Stilts.

In May 2005 Lake Clarendon was dry and very bird free.
