Starting from the car park at the end of Oquinn Street, Nudgee Beach, this little circuit walk gives you a tour of the northwestern Boondall wetlands via the Tabbil-ban Dhagun Track. Expect a peaceful and quiet journey along a wheelchair accessible boardwalk that will provide you coastal views as well. The area is perfect for birdwatching as the migratory bird species feed on the tidal flats here. Other than birds, you’ll be able to spot crabs (at low tide) and interesting bugs in these wetlands. The Aboriginal name of the track means 'place of salt water', for your information. A strong insect repellent, a hat and sunscreen is highly recommended. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
