Fantastic insight to the increible fauna that reside here and the importance of the land itself on a national level

Excellent set up. Its a very interesting option for viewing birdlife on the wetlands that otherwise you may be only lucky enough to hear. Lot's of info provided as well. Only open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons but there is a viewing platform close by with 7 day access.

Definitely well worth the visit! Birding away from the sun, what more can you ask for! Double story building with lots of angle to view from! Facility also provides access to magazines and bird field guide. Doesn't have a toilet but the nearest toilet is only 500m away at Edithvale Recreation Reserve. Well done to the volunteer team for opening the place for visitor's to enjoy. :)

One of the best bird hide in Victoria. Great place to visit in wet season. Watch for opening hours on the website before visit. Onsite parking. Use outside viewing platform 24x7.

Amazing bird watching area. Open every Sunday and every second Saturday between 1pm to 5pm (check the website for more details). It can be closed if it is too dry or the area becomes flooded. There is plenty of parking on a gravel road. There is a smaller bird watching area (you will be disappointed if you think that is the place) but the main one is actually through a set of gates. There are signs on the gate directing you to the bird hide. Note the signage looks abit "dodgy" but do not let that throw you off. The bird hide itself is a two story wooden building which was suprising cool in the hot weather. It was clean and well maintained. There are places to sit and there are windows that provide a view of the immense wetlands. In the hide are keen and friendly volunteers eager to show and educate you on the birds of the area. Remember to sign the book on your way in as more visitor they get more funding. When I visited there were several keen bird watchers and photographers. Will definately be back and continue to upload new birds that I spot!

The bird hide, at this time of year - January, is lower than the reeds, so you can't see the water or the birds, so for me it's a seasonal visit. Just up the road a little is another elevated building, which is better this time of year

Wish it was open during the weekdays my clients love walking and birdwatching

Beautiful spot, shame the Hide is closed and no option to circumnavigate the lake

Brilliant location for viewing birds in natural habitat....& photography opportunities of wildlife...

What a stunningly beautiful wetland area.

Beautiful spot for migrating birds. Public Bird hide always available. No other facilities.

Lovely little spot to watch some birds! Craig the volunteer was a wealth of knowledge, and even let me borrow some binoculars. Fantastic variety of bird life.

Just wondering why the large the large, newer hide with the all abilities ramp is not open when the sign by the road indicates that it should be? (Sunday afternoon)

Great place to walk around and is a solid choice to spend your day.

Good riding and walking tracks around the wetlands.

Peaceful and with very helpful volunteers to identify birds

Big wetland with black swans ..breeding place..education center..Visit on 2nd or 4th Sundays of month between 1pm to 4 pm. SEPT onwards is best season to see some migratory birds. Swams are in big numbers. You can enjoy their graceful behavior. Purple Swamphens are also found in numbers. Ducks are plenty.

Great place to go and see birds and ducks over the wetlands. Cross the road and take a walk or ride your bike through parkland all the way to Mordialloc beach. A really enjoyable walk.

Please ignore my previous post about the closed all abilities hide. Turns out that it's operated by Melbourne Water. Edithvale bird hide is fabulous! Very helpful volunteers available to provide information
