The Macquarie Marshes is part of the traditional land of the Wailwan People who continue to maintain connections to country. The Marshes is particularly outstanding for its value as one of the most important nesting sites for waterbirds in Australia. A total of 77 waterbird species can be found in the Macquarie Marshes, including the threatened brolga, magpie goose, Australasian bittern and painted snipe. It also provides important habitat for 156 species of woodland bird and many other species of fish, turtles, frogs, snakes and mammals.

Experience the Marshes by visiting the Bird Viewing platform located along the Gibson Way. Or venture along the Burrima Boardwalk, which is a 2km boardwalk that spans accross part of the marshes. This boardwalk is located along Carinda Rd, and requires you to book to gain access.
