Wongaloo (Cromarty) Wetlands is a wetland area of significance about 40 minutes south of Townsville. Join the team to improve habitat for various bird species by removing invasive weeds, and getting to know more about this area.
The swamps vary from very wet with dense stands of ‘Bulkuru’- the primary breeding and food source for Magpie Geese - to barren and dry ‘playgrounds’ for the Brolga, as part of a critical annual cycle. The wetland system is home at various times of the year to some 255 species of birds, 51 species of reptile, 44 species of mammals and countless species of invertebrate and is a vital stage on the migratory ‘flyway’.
