Tinchi Tamba Wetlands

Tinchi Tamba Wetlands Reserve © Caleb Gittins

Directions: Turn off the Gympie Highway at Strathpine Road (UBD 109 J4) and go east and then immediately turn north onto Kluver St. Follow Wyampa Road to Deep Water Bend Reserve where there is ample parking. The Pine River is too full of speed boast to be good but waders can be quite numerous on Hills Creek at the right time of year. A scope is useful here and insect repellent can be essential. Brolgas and Black-necked Storks have been recorded here. There is are numerous paths to follow which can be good for Mangrove Honeyeaters and Bar-shouldered Doves.

There is also an interesting pond in Harold Kieely Park in Bracken Ridge Road, just before the new intersection with Hoyland Street – UBD 109 N1. Magpie Geese have been see there although they can also occur in the swamps further along Bracken Ridge Road.
