Directions: To reach the main entrance turn off Colburn Avenue into Pt
Halloran Road and continue down Pt Halloran Road for approximately 1.5Kms, then turn
left into Orana Street. Continue to the end of Orana Street where you will find the
Conservation Area carpark in front of you.
For an alternate (and recommended) entrance turn off Colburn Avenue into School
Road and continue to the dead end of School Road where good roadside parking is
available, but note that there are no public toilet facilities at either entrance to this reserve.
The track and boardwalks from the School Road entrance takes you through lovely woodland
and wetland areas with a good variety of bush and water birds commonly present, and will
lead you by foot through to the above mentioned Orana Street carpark entrance.
From the Orana Street carpark follow the track up to the fork where the loop begins and
you have the choice of going clockwise or anticlockwise around the loop. The loop will
take you around the woodland area but it is also recommended to check out the immediately
adjacent tidal salt pans for waders; particularly in the summer months and when the high
tide forecast is for 2.4 metres or more, which then tends to push the waders over the
tidal mangrove belt and onto the salt pans.
Note, as of September 2019 the Redlands Council are currently in the process of
forming another loop track off to the right 50 metres or so along from the Orana Street carpark.
