Starting from the Narawntapu National Park carpark on Bakers Beach Road, Bakers Beach, this walk takes you to the Springlawn Bird Hide Lookout and back via the Bird Hide Walk. This is a short stroll over well a formed track, which takes you through banksia scrub and a tall paperbark swamp along the Springlawn Lagoon. Many birds can be spotted from the hide including ducks, herons, swans, cormorants, coots, bitterns, grebes and many more. Listen closely and you'll hear a symphony of frogs coming from the swamp, in addition to the lovely birdsong. 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.
