Directions: Metroplex on Gateway is a Business park in the
shadow of the Gateway Way Bridge. From Lytton Road, turn north on Metroplex at
the first traffic light west of the Gateway Arterial. Drive to the second round
about and park. A walkway along the Brisbane river is straight ahead of you and a
lake, which contains a breeding colony of White Ibises is to your right.
For a small park, overshadowed by the Gateway Bridge, it contains a lot of birds.
Baillon’s Crake and Swamp Harrier have been seen here. Many Egrets and sometimes
Glossy Ibis and Magpie Geese occur on the Lake and the sparse mangroves on the edge
of the Brisbane River could throw up something as well.
This site is very close to Minnippi Parklands. This can be reached by crossing
Lytton Road at the end of Metroplex and driving along Creek Road and then turning
left into Wynnum Road.
