At the top of the observation tower, you’ll gaze across the Northern Marsh reed beds, part of the largest reed bed in southern Australia. Gain a snapshot of the main vegetation communities of the Marshes and an insight into the combined effects of river flow regimes and land and water management practices on the wetland ecosystem.
